Judgment (Appeal 49/85), 1985.
The Supreme Rabbinical Appeal Court of Israel held that even though a husband had consented to his wife's artificial insemination with the sperm of a donor, he was exempt from paying maintenance for a child born as result of the procedure. A religious court in Haifa has ruled that a Jewish child born as the result of artificial insemination could only marry a proselyte for fear of marrying someone closely related. See Annual Survey of Family Law, Vol. 11, 1987, p. 182.
