      If you aren't Jewish then your religion e.g. Christian offices will decide. If you are non religious you can just do a civil union like thing which got the rights of a marriage.

      Still outdated, but who am I to judge when my state didn't recognize gay marriages till recently?

        I mean it’s still fucking weird that if you’re not religious but your partner is they basically have to lie and say their an atheist for you to get married.

          Yes. Historically it was for example in Europe and parts of what is called the Mena region, that if you were Jewish and would marry a Christian you would be put to death. Since the same and the Shoa happened just a few years prior I understand how it came to be that law was initially created / kept as it was in parts.

          Not sure if it is right, but it feels as if the religious consitution of marriages was also a point that made the Christian fundamentalists support Israel more for their Christian anti Muslim Supremacy project.
