In a country where civil marriage doesn’t exist, marriage and divorce are under the authority of religious institutions.

The only way that Jews can marry in Israel is to do so through the Orthodox Chief Rabbinate.

But the number of Jews marrying in this way has fallen for the second year in a row according to the country's Ministry of Religious Services.

Young Jews are finding alternative Jewish marriages in Israel - which are questionably legal – or they’re even choosing to marry abroad.
