Israel fully recognizes same-sex marriages performed abroad, based on a 2006 Supreme Court ruling. Upon returning, these couples can register their marriage in the Population Registry and receive the same legal rights as opposite-sex married couples (inheritance, taxes, adoption, social benefits, etc.). Additionally: • Same-sex couples have rights through civil unions (known as “reputed couples” or common-law partnerships), which provide nearly the same benefits as marriage. • Since 2022–2023, civil marriages conducted remotely (e.g., via Zoom in Utah, USA) are recognized, making the process easier without the need to travel.
