Protection of a person from the laws of the country (marriage in Israel)
<p>If a person is a citizen of the country that prohibits or limits his right to marry, what are the legal ways for this person to protect his/her rights to marry?</p>
<p>An example is Israel that prohibits marriage of a non-jew to a jewish person.</p>
<p>Is there an international law to protect his/her rights to marry to a person of his/her choice?</p>

<p>The whole institution of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage" rel="nofollow noreferrer">marriage</a> is subject to arbitrary interpretation/twisting within/by any sovereign jurisdiction. Countries are normally within their rights to recognise marriages subject to any conditions they like, or even completely repudiate the institution of marriage altogether.</p>

<p>A few options:</p>
<ul>
<li>Elect a politician/party that will change the law; or</li>
<li>If you do not care whether the government recognises your marriage if done the way you want, just marry where/how you want and live with it; or</li>
<li>If you need the government to recognise your marriage (e.g. for relationship property protection etc.), move to a country where your &quot;rights to marry&quot; will be protected the way you want.</li>
</ul>
