This certainly is a juicy problem, although the episode itself is over 45 years old. At the time, it was reported - with great relish - in the non-ultra-Orthodox press that the leader of Neturei Karta had married a convert named Ruth Ben-David, who was many years his junior and that, by doing so, he had chosen to ignore a ruling by Neturei Karta’s supreme judicial body, the Eda Haredit’s Badatz (the high court of the Haredi community ). He paid dearly for this action: He was deposed as leader, ostracized and forced to go into exile with his bride.
