SC to hear challenge to Gyanvapi mosque survey on Friday, asks Varanasi court to desist from hearing today

An ultra-Orthodox Jewish lawmaker resigned from the&nbsp;Israeli&nbsp;legislature on Wednesday after drawing rabbis&#39; wrath for attending his&nbsp;gay&nbsp;nephew&#39;s&nbsp;wedding.

Yigal Guetta of the Shas party said in an&nbsp;Israeli&nbsp;radio interview earlier this week that he and his family had gone to the celebration, held two years ago in Israel, because he wanted his sister&#39;s son to be happy, although&nbsp;gay&nbsp;marriage violated his own religious beliefs.

A letter published on Monday by five prominent&nbsp;Israeli&nbsp;rabbis said same-sex marriage is an &quot;abomination&quot;. Accusing Guetta of &quot;desecrating God&#39;s will&quot;, they called on his party to fire him.

Guetta made no immediate public statement after his resignation was confirmed by party officials.

The newspaper Haaretz quoted a source close to the politician as saying he had refused to apologise and decided to quit, to avoid being asked to do so by Shas&#39;s own religious sages, who set party policy.

Same-sex&nbsp;weddings held in Israel are not sanctioned by the state, and only Orthodox rabbis can issue marriage licences. Couples may marry without a license, but the union won&#39;t be officially recognised.

Israel does recognise same-sex couples who marry abroad and any other non-Orthodox weddings performed outside of the country.
