To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, when he plans to launch a public consultation on reform of wedding law in England and Wales.
This question was answered on 15th January 2026
The Government announced on 2 October that we intend to reform weddings law when parliamentary time allows. The reforms reflect a commitment to making marriage law fairer, simpler and more modern while also protecting the solemnity and dignity of marriage. The next step is to undertake a consultation on reform of wedding law in England and Wales early into this year.
