Requiring All Religious Marriages in the
UK to be Registered Under British Law

This policy requires all religious marriages in the United Kingdom to be registered under British civil law. By ending the two-tier marriage system, women and children will no longer be trapped in religious-only unions that deny them legal protections in divorce, inheritance, and custody. This policy also ensures that only legally registered marriages confer access to state benefits, tax privileges, or inheritance rights. Religious-only marriages without civil registration will no longer be recognised for public funds or property transfers.
This policy mandates that all divorces in the United Kingdom must be obtained through civil proceedings. Religious divorces will no longer be tolerated as substitutes, as they leave individuals—particularly women—without enforceable rights in property, custody, and inheritance. By consolidating divorce into one legal channel, this measure protects vulnerable individuals from coercion and restores legal clarity.
