Recognise Pagan handfasting as a legal form of marriage in England and Wales
Handfasting has been an ancient form of marriage since before Christianity reached the country. Where it is legal to be handfasted, it is not recognised in England and Wales as a legal form of marriage, such as Christian ceremonies are.
According to the 2021 census, there were almost 53,000 pagans in the UK. This may not seem a lot, but even a small amount deserves the chance to wed in a ceremony appropriate to their beliefs and religion. England and Wales deserve the chance to wed in a Pagan religious ceremony.
