A ketubah is a traditional Jewish marriage contract that outlines the rights and responsibilities of the couple. It is usually written in Aramaic and serves as a legal document that protects the wife in the event of divorce or the husband's death. The ketubah is often beautifully decorated and is signed by two witnesses during the wedding ceremony. In addition to its legal significance, the ketubah holds cultural and emotional value for many Jewish couples. It is often displayed in the home as a symbol of their commitment and love. The text may vary, but it typically includes promises regarding financial support and mutual respect.
