I didn’t attribute halachic import to a Yisroel marrying a non ger. And if it came across as such, let this be clarification that I attribute no halachic import to it. What I did was make a deduction that the reason there is halachic import for a Kohein marrying a ger is because of reasons of kedusha. And I suggested that, perhaps, a Yisroel may desire such a level of kedusha even though he isn’t obligated in such a level – and there is no halachic import to it. (Related to this idea, I know an adom godol zt’l, who is a Yisroel, that I know from personally walking with him he would not walk under an awning protruding in front of a funeral home, lest there be a meis inside. He would walk around it.)
