title: Lewis Weil v. State of Israel and others, 1987.
abstract: The Supreme Court of Israel held that a prisoner has no right to special leave for conjugal relations in order to fulfill the commandment to "be fruitful and multiply."  While it stated that the right to matrimonial relations is a basic human right and suggested that such a leave policy would be desirable, it also concluded that existing rules and regulations on prisoner's visits were not unreasonable, and judicial intervention was not warranted.
