Take action: reject cohabitees’ rights plans that attack marriage
from Coalition for Marriage:
We wrote to you recently about MPs on the House of Commons Women and Equalities Committee wanting to give cohabiting couples the same financial rights as those who are married.
Marriage is further undermined and sidelined by these plans. Marriage supporters should speak out against them by responding to the committee’s consultation. Guidelines on how to do so and suggested themes for your comments are below. The deadline is 4 July.
Politicians should promote marriage, not find new ways to bypass it. And if people freely choose not to marry, why should the law treat them as if they were married?
How to respond
The call for evidence can be found here. It includes a number of key questions, but you don’t have to answer these directly. You must draft your submission in a Word document, which you will then upload via the committee’s online form. Click the ‘Start’ button at the bottom of the call for evidence page to respond.
