Written question asked by Richard Holden (Conservative) on Wednesday, 23 April 2025, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Friday, 25 April 2025. It was answered by Alex Davies-Jones (Labour) on Thursday, 1 May 2025 on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.


Marriage: Ceremonies

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether she plans to bring forward legislative proposals to permit outdoor religious weddings.

Answer

The Law Commission’s 2022 report on weddings raises a number of issues around weddings law, including giving greater choice in how and where individuals can get married.

Given marriage will always be one of our most important institutions, it is right that we take the time to carefully consider this report before we set out our position on weddings reform in the coming months.
