ISRAEL'S SUPREME COURT APPROVES SAME-SEX MARRIAGES PERFORMED ABROAD

In an unprecedented ruling, Israel's Supreme Court ordered the government on Tuesday to recognize same-sex marriages performed abroad.

The lone dissenter on the seven-judge panel is an observant Jew, highlighting the controversy the decision is likely to touch off among ultra-Orthodox Jews and other deeply conservative groups in Israel.

The ruling is also contentious because ultra-Orthodox rabbinical authorities currently have a monopoly on marriage and divorce in Israel. - SAPA
