Question: If a witness signed his name in Hebrew in the ketuba but erred in writing his name, is it still valid? And should the ketuba be corrected? What should I do?
Answer:
You need to know what mistake it was in signing his name, if he wrote a completely different name, surely his signature is not a signature, and the ketuba must be replaced, as well as the name on behalf of his father. However, if he has not written his full name, or instead of his father’s name, his mother’s name is written, or he has not written his last name, which is kosher and should not be replaced. And if he signed as he signed the checks, retroactively it’s kosher and should be replaced.
