Według listy rankingowej ułożonej przez izraelską organizację Hiddush - For Religious Freedom and Equality. - sortującej kraje świata według stopnia swobody zawierania małżeństwa, Izrael znalazł się w grupie krajów o najgorszych notowaniach, na równiej stopie z takimi państwami jak Pakistam, Afganistan czy Arabia Saudyjska. Diabeł jak zawsze tkwi w detalach - przeklejam więc stosowny fragment raportu rzeczonej organizacji ukazujący istotę problemu:
• Israeli law only recognizes religious wedding ceremonies, conducted by state-recognized religious functionaries. With regard to weddings conducted in Israel, there is no option for civil marriage.
• Among the Jewish population, the (Orthodox) Chief Rabbinate has sole legal authority over marriage(i kilka dni temu Kneset uchwalił prawo penalizujące obchodzenie tego prawa karą dwóch lat pozbawienia wolności - sic!!! - Arminius)
• Only those who are recognized as Jews according to Orthodox Jewish law can get married in Israel. They are only allowed to marry other Jews approved by the Chief Rabbinate. The marriage ceremony is strictly Orthodox and non-egalitarian. Members of other religions can only marry spouses of the same religion and only by their own State-recognized religious authorities.
• Over 300,000 Israeli citizens do not have an official religious status, meaning that 4% of the population is unable to legally get married (These are mostly new immigrants for the Former Soviet Union, who have paternal Jewish ancestry, but whose mothers are not Jewish).
• There are a significant number of Israeli citizens who are Jewish according to Orthodox standards, but cannot marry because of restrictions arising from Orthodox Jewish law. For example, a descendant of the ancient priesthood tribe, regardless of his religious belief, cannot marry a divorcee or a female convert to Judaism. Neither can people who have been declared “illegitimate” in the eyes of religious law.
• Converts that joined Judaism through a non-Orthodox conversion (Reform, Conservative, Reconstructionist, Renewal) and sometimes even Jews who converted through a moderate Orthodox rabbi, cannot get married in Israel.
• The Orthodox monopoly over Jewish citizens (and respectively – the same is true for non-Jewish citizens in Israel) also denies millions more the right to marry according to their belief, which is mostly Secular and non-Orthodox. This is partly due to the non-egalitarian characteristics of the Orthodox ceremony.
Russian immigrants marry an informal marriage ceremony on Valentine's Dayon Dizengoff Square. The bride is not recognized in Israel as a Jew, so the couple can not marry in Israel officially. 04.08.2009.

According to Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) data, in 2010, 9,262 Israeli couples reported to the Ministry of the Interior that they married abroad in contrast to the 47,855 couples that were married in Israel (under Orthodox auspices) in the same year. This means that 16% of the marriages of Israelis were held abroad. Similarly, the CBS reported that over the course of the last 10 years, the number of Israeli Jewish couples that chose to cohabit without marriage rose by approximately 250%. This is clearly attributed to a growing number of Israelis who refuse to marry in the Orthodox ritual, and couples who fear that if their marriage would not succeed they would be under the jurisdiction of the Orthodox rabbinate for the dissolution of the marriage.
Polecając wnikliwej analizie zamieszczony powyżej tekst obrazujący skalę horroru jaki ma miejsce w syjonistycznje teokracji o nazwie Izrael - pozwolę sobie tylko zaznaczyć, iż primo: jeżeli ktoś miałby kłopoty z tłumaczeniem - chętnie służę pomocą, secundo: punkt trzeci od góry jest żywcem ultrarasistowski i najpewniej został zaczerpnięty z ustaw norymberskich, tertio: cokolwiek sądzić o potędzie rydzykowego katolicyzmu w Polsce - ksiądz redaktor może tylko śnić o potędze jaką ma ortodoksyjny rabinat w Izraelu. Wojujący ateiści - także na łamach "Racjonalisty" - mają w zwyczaju używać określenia "katotalibanie". Przez analogię, czy w przypadku Izraela należy mówić o "judeotalibanach"?
