Marriage: Humanism
The question
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, whether she has had discussions with the Secretary of State for Justice on legally binding humanist marriages in England and Wales.
Answered by Dame Nia Griffith
I pay tribute to my Hon. Friend for her long-standing work in support of humanist issues, and I am aware that humanists have long been campaigning for legally binding humanist weddings. The Law Commission published a report on weddings in July 2022 containing 57 recommendations to reform weddings law. We are considering these recommendations and will confirm our position in the coming months.
