Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill establishes a legal framework for civil marriage in Israel, allowing any interested couple (aged 18 and over, at least one of whom is a resident of Israel) to marry through a spousal covenant registered in a partnership registry, regardless of religion or religious identity. The bill sets conditions for registration, procedures for dissolving marriages, legislation on property rights and maintenance, and repeals the Spousal Covenant for Persons Without Religious Affiliation Law of 2010. The partnership registrar will be appointed on behalf of the Ministry of Justice, and the Family Court will be the body authorized to handle related matters.
