חוק ההתיישנות (תיקון מס' 10), התשפ"ו–2026Prescription Law (Amendment No. 10), 2026 · automatic translation · suggest a correction

Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The amendment postpones the start date of the limitation period applicable to the right to file a civil claim for abuse committed against a minor, or sexual assault committed against an adult who has not yet reached the age of 21, by a cousin who had reached the age of 15 at the time of the injury. In practice, by including such cousins in the definition of "family member" in Section 18A(b) of the Law, the amendment allows these victims to file a civil claim until they reach the age of 35, similar to the existing right of a person injured in such manner by a sibling, uncle/aunt, or brother/sister-in-law.
