Landmark Challenge: Humanist Marriage recognition in England & Wales.

Next week the High Court in London will hear a legal challenge brought by six couples looking to have legal recognition of humanist weddings.

Ciaran Moynagh, Partner noted, “The time for asking to be accommodated is over. The courts are now the only appropriate and realistic method of moving this issue on. Following a successful case in Northern Ireland, momentum is on our side, and I believe couples who look forward to a legally recognised humanist ceremony should take great heart and hope from that.“

The legal challenge is being supported by Humanists UK. Andrew Copson, Chief Executive commented, “Couples who have humanist weddings see that day as the epitome of their love and commitment to each other, and all they want is the same legal recognition for that as is given to every religious person in our country.“
