LINK A court in Israel recognizes online civil marriages, even for gay couples, as valid : NPR
(This is interesting, because Utah, a very conservative religious state where 50% of the population is Mormon, due to covid, made marriages conducted over Zoom to be valid, which inadvertently created a loophole where gay marriages cone over Zoom by officials in Utah could be legally recognized in Isreal as valid. )

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Israel absolutely permits inter marriage between any religion. Tho it may be a cultural taboo, it is not a legal one. Krish55 is wrong.

Remember, this only applies to Jews. There are different laws for native Arabs (Palestinians).
Palestinians in Israel proper (called Israeli Arabs) have great difficulty marrying Palestinians in the occupied territories.
Also intermarriage between Jews and Muslims in prohibited.
Israel practices Marriage Apartheid.

An Online marriage might have the same validity as a proxy marriage.

I've heard a lot of prison inmates use proxy marriage to get hitched while in prison. I think they've also been used for military personnel serving overseas to get married while their partner was still in the US.
And this was almost a thing.

Why not? After all, it's just a contract between two people.
