Make Pagan Handfasting a legal form of marriage in England and Wales

Petition Details

To be legally married in England or Wales you either have to go to church or a register office! It is not possible to have a full legal marriage ceremony that includes handfasting.

Additional Information

Pagan handfasting is an ancient form of wedlock (pre dating Christianity) yet it is not recognised as legally binding!
