Advancing a cause that has long been dear to Israel Beytenu especially MK David Rotem, Justice Minister Yaakov Ne'eman has prepared a brief concerning civil marriage in Israel, which states that it should be made possible for couples who are either not Jewish or are consider to have no religious denomination.
"This (brief) is the first step towards full legislation," said Lieberman. "Once it is completed it will be of great importance for the Israeli society. The civil marriage law is meant to solve a fundamental problem within Israel, and to put a stop to the discrimination of an entire sector which gives to this country and is an important part of it."
