Essential guidelines on marriage document handling and replacement procedures
Where should the Ketubah be kept?
After the wedding, the correct custom is to entrust the Ketubah to the bride's mother. Some say that keeping the Ketubah in the couple's home is a good omen, but their words are incorrect.
What should be done if the Ketubah is lost?
In case the Ketubah is lost, the couple must go to a certified rabbi to write them a "Ketubah D'Archsa". In such a Ketubah document, witnesses testify that a certain man and woman came before them and stated that their Ketubah document was lost, and they write a "Ketubah D'Archsa".
