While I was following the fighting in Lebanon, I ran across an article about Jewish divorce law. A Jewish Court in Israel ruled "that under Jewish law, the husband is obligated to divorce his wife after viewing the video of his wife's indiscretions, even if the video was obtained illegally."
My first thoughts weren't about arbitration, or Jewish law in the US (which can sometimes be considered a form of arbitration), or even Shasta County cattle ranchers. I didn't think about the rules of evidence between civil and criminal trials.
No, my first thoughts were about Mathhew 1:18 and 19:
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child. ... Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
Looks like some things just don't change.
(Just to be clear, Joseph wasn't mean for wanting to put Mary away privily; my point is only that 2,000 years ago Jewish law required him to divorce her. He was trying to be nice in not making a public spectacle of things.)
