In respect of my client's rights,

impose sanctions on the husband!

Since the law favors a husband's will

over a wife's wishes,

at least he could show up!

What are you angry about?

We summoned him.

What else can we do?

Everything in your power.

Who is here on his behalf?

Speak up!

Hello, Viviane.

I'm the husband's messenger.

Why didn't he bother

to come himself?

I don't know, Your Honor.

What do you have to say?

Your Honor, the husband asked me

to tell you that

he will not appear in court

until his wife comes home.

I'm not going back.

I'll have you removed.

In my court you speak

when spoken to.

I'm not going back again.

Look, good woman,

return for the period

I recommend.

Your Honor,

what is this disgrace?

Calm down, you.

You know we can't force

the husband at this stage.

You're bending my client's will.

Does it bother you

that she returns of her own free will?

Her own free will?

Your Honor!

Madam, help me and I'll help you.

Return to your home,

and if you cannot reach an accord,

I give you my word,

before these witnesses,

I will force him to appear in court,

like it or not.

The husband wants reconciliation,

and so do we. She must go home.

This hearing is adjourned.

Carmel Ben Tovim, you listen...

FIVE MONTHS LATER

You keep shouting.

Don't raise your voice...

It's a religious court.

Don't show contempt!

- I'm not.

- You're shouting and...

You're in contempt

and you're shouting.

You won't even give me

15 minutes.

Gentlemen, we can't communicate

with screams and shouts.

Pardon me, Your Honor.

My client fulfilled

her husband's conditions

and he doesn't do his part!

But they live together now?

- Yes, as requested.

- Then what's wrong?

Everything is wrong,

that's why we're here.

Why are you fanning the flames again?

The husband's behavior is infuriating.

How long must my client wait?

Look, I stand by my word,

although I repeat:

I cannot force him to appear.

Why not, Your Honor?

His refusal to answer your summons

constitutes valid grounds.

- What are you waiting for?

- You're out of order, Carmel.

I will do so

because this poor woman

fulfilled her obligations

to me and to her husband.

If the husband doesn't appear

at the next hearing,

in three months...

Three months, Your Honor!

Three months?

Carmel, shut up!

You're annoying me!

If the husband doesn't appear

at the next hearing,

three months from today,

I will take exception

with the law

and suspend

his driver's license for a year.

Really?

He doesn't have one.

He doesn't have one.

No license?

I see.

- Was it revoked?

- No, he never had one.

His credit cards will be blocked.

He doesn't use credit cards.
