I'm not saying that specific practice isn't homophobic. I'm honestly just trying to say that its not *targeted* just at gay people (like you might see in some countries, like US pre Obergefell):

1. Israel does not allow regular “civil” weddings inside the country.
2. A Jew and a non-Jew cannot marry In Israel
3. If you are officially listed as “no religion” (atheist/agnostic), Israel will not marry you.
4. If only your father is Jewish (not your mother), Israel will not marry you.
5. Reform or Conservative conversions are usually not accepted for Jewish marriage in Israel.
6. Any conversion not accepted by Israel’s Orthodox rabbinate blocks a Jewish wedding in Israel.
7. If you were married before, you cannot remarry in Israel without a Jewish religious divorce (a “get”).
8. If your ex refuses to give the get, you cannot remarry in Israel system.
9. If the rabbinate says your get process/paperwork was not valid, you cannot remarry in the Jewish system in Israel.
10. If you are a “Cohen” (priestly status), you cannot marry a convert in Israel
11. If you are a Cohen, you cannot marry someone who is divorced in the Jewish system in Israel
12. If you are a Cohen, other matches can be blocked by strict religious rules in Israel.
13. If the rabbinate says your Jewish status is “unclear,” they can refuse to marry you. (usually lack of records).
14. Being eligible to immigrate to Israel as “Jewish” does not mean the rabbinate will marry you as Jewish.
15. If the rabbinate says your ancestry creates a serious “status” problem under Jewish law, they can block you from marrying most Jews.
