Should a secular name be written in a Kesuba in addition to ones Hebrew name?[1]
If one has a Hebrew name that is one’s more common name then there is no need to also write one’s secular name which is only rarely used, in the Kesubah. If they are both equally used, then one is to write the Hebrew name and then write the secular name in parentheses, or with prefacing the word “Demiskarya”
[1] See Rama E.H. 129:16; Beis Shmuel 129:31; Get Pashut 129:81; Igros Moshe E.H. 4:102; Mishpat Hakesuvah [Bar Shalom] 2:17 p. 94
How should the title of a Giyores who is also a Gerusha be written in the Kesuba?[1]
It suffices to simply write Giyorta, or Bas Avraham Avinu [if also her father is not Jewish], without also writing Masrachta. It does not suffice however to only write Masrachta.
