Humanist Marriage

EDM number 667 in 2010-12, proposed by Greg Mulholland on 06/09/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Marriage.

That this House celebrates the values of Humanists for their beliefs in love, commitment and humanity; recognises that in accordance with British equality and human rights law, Humanists should be treated equally with those of religious beliefs; believes that Humanists should be allowed to have wedding ceremonies outside a registry office like those given to persons of religious beliefs; and encourages hon. Members to support the right of their Humanist constituents to an independent wedding ceremony which recognises their own beliefs.

This motion has been signed by a total of 74 MPs.
