Invalidity of gentile courts (he:ערכאות של גויים) is a talmudic rule regarding gentile courts in Judaism. The rule states that gentile courts are invalid for ruling over Jewish people.〔http://www.halachayomit.co.il/displayRead.asp?readID=250〕 Jewish law requires disputes to be settled by a Jewish court (beth din) under the laws of the torah. It is forbidden to settle disputes in a court ruled by gentile laws. Jewish law permits settling disputes in gentile courts in exceptional cases and these cases usually require approval from Jewish religious authority. There is ongoing Halachic dispute regarding the status of the courts in modern state of Israel and whether the courts are religiously binding. == Source of the ban == The prohibition comes from the tractate Gittin of the babylonian Talmud which states:〔Babylonian Talmud, (דף פח,ב)〕 The punishment for breaking this rule is Cherem or excommunication. This rule was instated so that Jews would not be subjected to the court of the gentile nations which were idolatrous. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Invalidity of gentile courts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
