*palms forehead again* (sometimes I don't know why I bother).

If you look at every single source available, there is an undeniable fact at hand: "MIXED MARRIAGES ARE NOT RECOGNIZED IN ISRAEL.

This is a fact, what exactly do you disagree about it for?

[chalitzah]

@OrthodoxDarwinist Your statements are factually incorrect, and they show me you know nothing about the subject. There is a problem in Israeli with lack of civil authority in marriage - it's something we can argue about. But first of all you have to get basic facts right - Muslim and Christian authorities have equal power to marry, and decide upon marriage law for their respective communities in Israel, as the Rabbinate has for the Jewish community.

[chalitzah]

@OrthodoxDarwinist

No, Muslim marriages are legal and under the power of Muslim authorities in Israel (I personally know many Muslims who have married by Sharia law in Israel), also 13 different Christian authorities have the power to marry. The Rabbinate has authority over Jewish weddings only. Inter-faith marriage is impossible because none of the different Israeli religious authorities - Muslim, Christian and Jewish - permit them. Once civil marriage is allowed, inter-faith will be easy

@chalitzah

*palm forehead* I guess I will have to repeat myself.

ONLY Jewish marriages and no mixed marriages are recognized within Israel. Go and look it up for yourself. This is because the Rabbinate has authority on this matter and refuses to recognize anyone else.

If you are too stupid to know this simple fact then there's really nothing I can do about that. More likely you know perfectly well this is the case but wish to hide it.

@OrthodoxDarwinist

You are uneducated and and you lie. Israeli Arabs are having thousands of non-Jewish marriages every week, (I see them) and they are legally recognised. Muslim marriage by Sharia law is accepted, both sunni and shia. The Sharia authorities in Israel refuse to accept inter-faith marriage, this has nothing to do with independent Rabbinate decision. Also 13 different Christian communities have legal authority to conduct marriage in Israel.

@LIAR

ONLY Jewish marriages are recognized within Israel as ever since 1953 the Orthodox rabbinate has been given complete control of authorization. Also Jews can only marry Jews; this parallels with the laws that send Arabs who have has consensual sex with Jews to prison = same laws as in Nazi Germany.

ALL other marriages, including those you deceitfully listed, are NOT recognized in Israel.

You know this full well, and it's about time the world knows it as well.

@OrthodoxDarwinist

There's no racist regulation. The religious authorities (Jewish, Muslim and Christian) only accept Jewish, Muslim/Sharia and Christian marriages. There's a need for legal reform to allow for civil marriages - but the religious authorities have power, and the politician prefer to compromise with them in this area, rather than allow them to push their weight around in other more important areas of the law (the more important areas of the law are secular).

[chalitzah]

@OrthodoxDarwinist 

You are uneducated. Please learn the facts before writing aggressive comments about other countries. You sound like someone who never travelled. Almost all (probably all) countries in the Middle-East have the same system as in Israel (they allow religious weddings, but not civil weddings). Of course the religious power is a problem here, and we need a legal reform. But why do you attack Israel and not Saudi Arabia, or all our neighbours, who have far less secular power

[OrthodoxDarwinist]

@chalitzah

In Israel, mixed-marriages ARE NOT RECOGNIZED!!!

NO other country on the planet has such RACIST regulations in place!! NONE!!

Mankind hasn't seen these racist regulations since white-only South Africa and Nazi Germany!

@OrthodoxDarwinist

As for marriage, the lack of civil marriage is a problem, but has nothing to do about race. In establishing a secular state, we had a struggle with the religious authorities and as a compromise Ben Gurion gave them given control of marriage (so they would compromise by allowing many other important areas to be secular). Jewish marriage is controlled by orthodox rabbinate, while Muslim marriage is under the sharia authorities (neither accept civil marriage).
