About Gay Ketubot

Each groom affirms a mutual commitment. It acknowledges some of the issues in a marriage not sanctioned by current law by adding the intent to give each other power of attorney and to hold all property in common (not legally binding, so see your lawyers too). This text is under construction as I have never had a gay ketubah commissioned. Suggestions welcome.

Gay Ketubah

This ketubah witnesses that on the ___day of the week, the ___ day of the month _____ in the year 57 ___, corresponding to (secular calendar date) in the city of ____ that _____, and ______ said to each other: “Be my husband according to the tradition of Moses and Israel."

Your family will be my family and mine yours. We promise to love, honor, and cherish each other. We will protect and support one another, and faithfully care for our needs as a family and as individuals, as required by Jewish tradition.

________ and _______ also agree that they will give each other power of attorney and all property will be held in common. They have declared before God and everyone that they have signed their names to this ketubah of their own free will without reservation or restraint and that they intend to be bound by this holy covenant. This is valid and binding.
