As an example, Jewish law prescribes that a Kohein, a priest, cannot marry a divorcee or a convert, which can be enough of a problem for the religiously observant, but for such a completely secular couple it still means they cannot marry within Israel. And, of course, intermarriages may not be performed.
Are you saying that the state forbids it by law? If so then Israel clearly violates my notion of getting the state out of the business of marriage. That's fine for Israel because it's their country and they can run it any way they see fit but the USA is forbidden from establishing a state religion.
The state forbids civil marriage, and the religious authorities prescribe the requirements for religious marriage. I thought that's what you're proposing for the U.S.!
