Before anyone gets on me because non-Jews can’t sign ketubot – yes. I know. I know, I’m sorry. :/
When my husband and I got married, we signed a ketubah. It never occurred to me we WOULDN’T have one. He was not, however, at the time, Jewish. Obviously it should have occurred to me that a ketubah is a document that binds Jews and it cannot bind someone who isn’t, but it didn’t. A rabbi did not officiate the wedding – I hadn’t been involved with a synagogue because exes had made me feel pretty ashamed and self-conscious both about my Judaism and my observance.
Husband is now Jewish, and we are significantly more observant than I previously was. We’d like to have a proper ketubah, one with his name on it, one that’s, you know, kosher. But I’m not sure whether that’s something we can actually do, given what a ketubah is. Obviously we can’t backdate it to our wedding, I’m unwilling to divorce and remarry him, and we wouldn’t be able to get the same witnesses anyway. Does anyone have guidance on this? Thank you, and an early shabbat shalom. 🙂
