Ben-Ari v. Director of Population Administration
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Facts: The petitioners are five same-sex couples of Israeli citizens who underwent ceremonies of marriage in Canada in accordance with Canadian law. Upon returning to Israel, they applied to the population registry to be registered as married. Their application was refused. They petitioned the court.\nHeld: (Majority opinion — President Emeritus Barak, President Beinisch, Vice-President Rivlin, Justices Procaccia, Naor, Hayut) Following the rule in Funk-Schlesinger v. Minister of Interior, that the purpose of the registry is merely statistical, the registration official at the population registry is not competent to examine the validity of a marriage. When he is presented with a marriage certificate, he is obliged to register the applicants as married, unless such a registration would be manifestly incorrect. The ‘manifestly incorrect’ exception does not apply in this case.\n(Minority opinion — Justice Rubinstein) The rule in Funk-Schlesinger v. Minister of Interior, which held that the registration official is not competent to examine the validity of a civil marriage and should register the applicants as married when presented with a marriage certificate, should not be extended to the case of a same-sex marriage conducted in one of the few countries around the world where such marriages are conducted. Registration at the population registry is not merely statistical; it involves a de facto recognition of same-sex marriages. The question of same-sex marriages differs from that of civil marriages in that civil marriages are almost universally recognized around the world, whereas same-sex marriages are only recognized in a small minority of countries. The registration of same-sex marriages should therefore be left for the Knesset to decide.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
