Former MK Rabbi Chaim Amsalem responded to the arrest of Conservative Rabbi Dov Hayoun, who was detained for questioning early Thursday morning following a complaint that he conducted weddings outside the framework of the Chief Rabbinate.
"If he married a mamzer, it is very serious, but I am not familiar with the details," Rabbi Amsalem told Arutz Sheva. "I am approached many times in order to marry couples, but if the couple were not registered in the rabbinate, I do not marry them because the law does not permit this."
