Deputy Defense Minister Eli Ben Dahan said, Tuesday, that he intends to deal with the matter of the status of religious fiancees of soldiers who die in battle. Following a meeting with two fiancees, the father of one and Member of Knesset Aliza Lavie (Yesh Atid), Rabbi Ben-Dahan said, "We need to study the subject and discuss the issue with the required sensitivity."
MK Lavie explained "The maturation of the connection between the religious is in the betrothal and among the secular in the joint living quarters, and the distortion that there is discrimination against the religious establishments must be corrected," Lavi said, rejecting the claim that the engagement cannot be recognized because it has no official validity.
