Summary (also from the next page)
Moses Meyers, born in Suriname and living in Amsterdam, and Caatje Jacob Jacda, living in Suriname, were both of the German Jewish faith. Moses wanted to return to Suriname to marry Caatje, who was his sister's daughter. Their marriage was prohibited by the political ordinance of 1580 issued by the States of Holland and West Friesland, which was reaffirmed in a resolution on May 30, 1703.
They requested permission to marry despite this prohibition because:
- Their marriage was permitted under Mosaic law
- Similar dispensations had been granted before by the States of Holland
- Both were born in Suriname and would be more compatible than a West Indian with a European
- The German Jewish community in Suriname was small, making it difficult to find suitable marriage partners
- They had been raised together and shared deep affection
- The States of Holland had already granted them dispensation on April 7 of that year
