Allow weddings for couples who can't live together for religious reasons
My Fiancé and I are young active charismatic Christians. We set our wedding date a year ago for 25th February 2021. Every aspect of our lives has been put on hold indefinitely. The uncertainty of the wait has become intolerable. Can provision be made for religious couples who can’t cohabitate.
We are asking the government to stop discriminating against those with religious beliefs that prohibit co habitation. Marriage is more than a celebratory social event but a rite of passage. Without legal marriage many couples are not able to start a family, live together, reduce their living costs or move forward with their lives. While it is simple to calculate the financial loss from cancellation of weddings, the emotional distress and disruption to individuals’ lives is immeasurable.
