Ketubah

A ketubah (/kɛtuːˈbɑː/;^[1] Hebrew: כְּתוּבָּה) is a Jewish marriage contract.^[2] It is considered an integral part of a traditional Jewish marriage, and outlines the rights and responsibilities of the groom, in relation to the bride. In modern practice, the ketubah has no agreed monetary value, and is seldom enforced by civil courts, except in Israel.^[3]
