Abstract: Abstract Golan-Nadir reveals that in Israel, the disparity between public preferences and long-sustained marriage policy is rooted in the employment of institutional tactics by state institutions. As the chapter shows, the extensive use of institutional pressure relief valves is the cause of enduring gaps between public preferences and institutional designs. The following chapter thoroughly discloses the development and evolution of institutional pressure relief valves—namely, alternative marriage options for those who cannot marry within the Orthodox establishment under the current official policy. Finally, this chapter presents data from the 2016 Public Opinion Survey on Marriage Policy to demonstrate the relative familiarity of Israeli-Jews with alternative marriage options. Such familiarity serves as an indicator for the effectiveness of this tool in preventing societal pressure towards state institutions.
