Marriage is one of our most enduring and important institutions. For many couples, their wedding day is one of the most significant moments of their lives: a public expression of enduring love and commitment, through which two people enter into a legal relationship with the expectation that it will last...

The Single Services have identified that the main barrier to same-sex couples marrying in Armed Forces chapels is the length of the process required to register such chapels for same-sex marriage. We have streamlined the process as much as possible, but it is enshrined in Primary Legislation.
No applications for the marriage of same-sex couples in Armed Forces chapels have been refused, but a number of applications have been withdrawn by the applicants themselves.
All Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force chapels are eligible for registration for same-sex marriage, expect those consecrated according to the rites of the Church of England. Before a chapel can be registered for same sex marriage, a same sex couple must request to be married in that chapel. One Royal Navy chapel (St Barbara’s Church, HMS Excellent) and one Army chapel (St Barbara’s Garrison Church, Chatham) are currently registered for same-sex marriages.
To date, one same-sex marriage has taken place at a Royal Navy chapel and fewer than five at an Army chapel. No same sex marriages have taken place in RAF chapels.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment his Department has made of barriers to same-sex couples marrying in Armed Forces chapels; and whether his Department has investigated whether service personnel wishing to enter into same-sex marriages have been unable to do so in such chapels.

I agree. The hon. Lady will be aware that many humanists come to Scotland, and indeed to Gretna Green, to get married for that very reason. That issue needs to be addressed in the context of modernising marriage regulations.
