Marriage: Humanism
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they intend to introduce legislation enabling humanist marriages to be recognised.
- Answer
-
The Government has consulted on whether the law should be changed to allow legally valid humanist and potentially other non-religious belief marriages. We are considering the responses we received and the implications for marriage law and practice if a change were to be made. We plan to publish the Government’s response to the review before 1 January 2015.
