Abstract: Abstract Golan-Nadir draws on the literature review for the study which is carried out in two sections. The first section provides an account of existing schools of thought, aiming to explain gaps between public preferences and institutional designs in a democratic setting. Focusing on the two schools, the chapter aims to establish that the existing literature falls short in accounting for the realities in the realm of marriage regulation in Israel and Turkey. The second section of the chapter offers a third innovative way to explain the endurance of disparities between popular preferences and official policies. Accordingly, it suggests that such disparities are the product of active institutional tactics operated by state institutions in order to repress public desire to translate its preferences into political action.
