Legally recognise humanist marriages, now! The Government finally said it will recognise humanist marriages in England and Wales. But instead of acting now, it’s kicked the issue further down the road, tying it to a broader and potentially controversial review of marriage law. That means even more delay. Write to your MP If the Government is serious about legalising humanist marriages, it should do it now – not after more dithering. We need you to write to your MP today to tell the UK Government to use its powers to bring about recognition without a Bill , and give humanist couples the right to have legally recognised humanist marriages now. Personalise your impact While we have provided a template, we strongly encourage you to personalise your email. We know that MPs are more likely to take notice of personalised emails and queries. Even a few added sentences can make a real difference. Tips for personalising your message If you are planning to have – or have had – a humanist wedding – please explain this, and the difference legal recognition would make or would have made to your special day. If you have attended a humanist wedding – please describe what the experience was like, and how it differed to other weddings you have been to. If you conduct humanist wedding ceremonies – emphasise this, and identify how your work makes these ceremonies distinct and special. Please keep us informed of any responses from your MPs by emailing campaigns@humanists.uk. Your message today plays a vital role in our campaign to secure legal recognition for humanist marriages in England and Wales.
