Allow UK citizens to marry in gardens, outside spaces etc.
In most countries, people can marry wherever they like as long as they have a minister / celebrant who has the correct licence.
UK laws are outdated and do not allow for people to marry in their own gardens, places of special meaning to them etc.
If you search online, there are numerous articles and blogs saying that the laws are outdated and a change is being considered. However, nothing has changed.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
People in Scotland and Northern Ireland can already get married outdoors, so we're not sure what further action you'd like.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition asking the UK Government and Parliament to make it legal for people to marry outdoors in England and Wales.
