Where a dissolution of marriage plea has been filed in Israel, concerning a 'mixed marriage' between an Israeli and a foreigner who married abroad, on what basis can a divorce be granted, if one side objects to the idea?

In the absence of mutual consent, which is sufficient grounds to end the marriage under Israel law, the side wishing to end the union will have to prove that he/she has grounds to divorce, according to the laws of the place where they married. A legal opinion on this will have to be submitted by an 'expert' on foreign law, and that person may need to be available as an expert witness.
