Sentenced till death!
Their love may have died, their house may be divided, but New York's most notorious battling couple is going to have to stay married - by decision of the jury.
In a divorce battle that has gotten more and more bizarre, Chana Taub asked a Brooklyn Supreme Court panel to dissolve her 21-year marriage to Simon Taub. Both listened in stunned silence Tuesday as the jury said they could not separate.
The squabbling spouses each immediately claimed the other was going to resort to murder to do what the court did not - end their wedlock.
"I'm scared. She could be hiring a hit man," said Simon Taub, 58, a millionaire sweater mogul.
"I'm very scared," said Chana Taub, 57. "He's told people he's going to get rid of me."
But in keeping them married, the six-member jury rejected Chana's stated grounds for divorce, that Simon had subjected her to "cruel and inhuman treatment."
The wacky case began two years ago, when Chana said she wanted out of the marriage and Simon refused.
Although most divorce cases are decided by judges, Chana Taub sought a jury trial because she said she thought she would get a fairer hearing.

when will she get the message to stop this garbage - she lost - suck it up and move on
the jury only found that she has "no" grounds for divorce that only means that she can suck him for all his money , she can pck herself up and move out if she wants , or stay if she wants , but the house is not hers _

What a crazy jury. What are their reasons for not granting a divorce.(anyway, a civil divorce does not mean they are divorced by Jewish law, they'd still need a get in order to remarry)

New York is the only the state that does not have “No-Fault" divorce.
If New York did not force divorcing parties to prove grounds, but instead allowed for a no-fault divorce, cases like this, where the parties are in a "dead" marriage, but are compelled to remain married, would not occur.
While this jury probably gave the parties what they really deserved (being stuck to each other), the result is a terrible waste of judicial resources and time. The parties wasted precious Court trial time and now are further burdening the Family Court with their suspect petitions seeking orders of protection.
All this could have been avoided if New York recognized irreconcilable differences as a basis for divorce.

as a jurist, Chana Taub told more lies than we could accept - while they deserve to be divorced they must have ground in NY State - but Chana did not prove anything but that she is a gold digger!!! You had to be there to believe it!

The jury was sane and unanimously agreed that 1. this was a totla waste of the Court's time, our time and the only ones profiting were the attorneys. Chana is disgruntled and vicious and had no proof - which must be proven in NY State for a divorce. We had no choice but to follow the law and say NO to Chana. She is a greedy, money hungry person and should be ashamed of herself for embarrasing 3 of her children.
