Bais Din ruling that aside from the issur of Halicha L'arcka'os, a much more severe issur of Mesira was committed

Baltimore Bais Din ruling on mesira in the Ort case

Translation:

Mrs. Manya Ort has committed a terrible act and has gone to secular court for “Equitable Distribution”; to demand and to acquire the property of her former husband.

This is against halachah, and was done without permission from Beis Din. She refuses to bring their disagreement before a Beis Din as we have written in the Ksav Siruv that was issued last year on lsru Chag Shavous.

To our sadness, it has come to light recently that she is threatening her former husband with criminal allegations. This is one of the most serious Aveiros, as an informer has no portion in the World to Come. We are shocked that a Bas Yisrael, who was always considered to be an isha kesheira, could sink to such a low level as to do these actions that are not done in Klal Yisroel.

Therefore, let it be known that it is forbidden to aid her in going to a secular court or in her informing. Anyone who is in a position to convince her to stop these terrible action, it is a mitzvah to do so; to save the victim from his oppressor and to uphold the authority of the laws of the holy Torah.

To this we have affixed our signature on Tuesday, 14 Kisleiv 5763,
