Marriage in Israel

This is something I know about the marriage culture in Israel. According to the article that I read, Arab and Jewish marriage culture are often arranged, but unfortunately it is uncommon nowadays. There is a taboo for Jewish people; they are not allowed to do intermarriage. That would be illegal for them to marry with someone who is not a Jewish and this is so powerful social taboo in Israel. It is very unusual for an observant Jew to marry someone secular. About their law, it is legal to divorce, but Orthodox Jewish law unfortunately applies. This made me surprised when I read this because I was thinking that Jewish hold on their religion thing which is illegal to divorce. In this country, men have the power to prevent their ex-wife to re-marry to another man.

If the women still have a relationship, the courts refuse to accept it and their children will be considered illegitimate and they cannot marry at another state.
