Married Women in IDF

I was planning on serving in the IDF with mahal2000 and then after maybe making aliyah. My boyfriend and I were planning on getting married first. At the mahal forum I asked if I could still be a lone soldier if I was married to someone who was not a Israeli citzen. Someone on the forum told me that married women couldn't serve in the IDF. Does anyone know if this is true? I knew married women didn't have to serve but I thought they were allowed to if they wanted to.

Hi I don't understand. Are you married? If so, how come you wrote that you were married to a non-Israeli? Please clarify so that I can answer your question

clarification

I will be married in America to an American at the time I plan to enlist in mahal. I don't know if that makes me married according to Israel or not.

according to....

according to what it says here on their website (http://www1.idf.il/DOVER/site/mainpage.asp?clr=1&sl=HE&id=22&docid=20142) if someone gets married during service they are released, But if you volunteered into the service in the first place you could stay in service. (basically you can "choose" to stay in the IDF i believe)

One should differentiate between

Compulsory service (Women serve for 2 years) and professional service. The IDF prefers not to enlist married women for compulsory service (Usually women are serving between 18 - 20 years of age). If one makes Aliya later in her life she can be enlisted by personal appealing and the authorities will check what can be done in her case. As long as one is old the chances are down. Every women can be enlisted to the professional service if passed the compulsory one (or partual time of it for more aged enlisting persons) and of course after checking if the attendee is needed because of her/his skills and matching to the wanted post.
