{{See also|Marriage in Israel}}

In [[Israel]], the only institutionalized form of Jewish marriage is the religious one, i.e., a marriage conducted under the auspices of the rabbinate. Specifically, marriage of Israeli Jews must be conducted according to Jewish Law ({{transliteration|he|[[halakha]]}}), as viewed by [[Orthodox Judaism]]. One consequence is that Jews in Israel who cannot marry according to [[Jewish law]] (e.g., a {{transliteration|he|[[kohen]]}} and a [[Divorce|divorcée]], or a Jew and one who is not [[Who is a Jew?|halachically Jewish]]), cannot marry each other. This has led for calls, mostly from the secular segment of the Israeli public, for the institution of civil marriage.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Halperin-Kaddari |first1=Ruth |last2=Yadgar |first2=Yaacov |date=2010 |title=Between Universal Feminism and Particular Nationalism: politics, religion and gender (in)equality in Israel |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/27896588 |journal=Third World Quarterly |volume=31 |issue=6 |pages=905–920 |doi=10.1080/01436597.2010.502721 |jstor=27896588 |pmid=20857568 |issn=0143-6597}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=8 May 2016 |title=Most Israeli Jews support Jewish pluralism, civil marriage |url=https://www.timesofisrael.com/most-israeli-jews-support-jewish-pluralism-civil-marriage-poll/ |website=The Times of Israel}}</ref>

Some secular-Jewish Israelis travel abroad to have [[civil marriages]], either because they do not wish an Orthodox wedding or because their union cannot be sanctioned by {{transliteration|he|halakha}}. These marriages are legally recognized by the State, but are not recognized by the State Rabbinate.

Marriages performed in Israel must be carried out by religious authorities of an official religion (Judaism, Islam, Christianity, or Druze), unless both parties are without religion.
