Marriage Registration Certificates

Proceeding contribution from Christina Rees (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 December 2015. It occurred during Debate on Marriage Registration Certificates.

I had a similar experience when I got married many years ago. My father died when I was a young teenager and my mother brought me up. The father of my husband-to-be had also died many years before. The two mothers came to the ceremony but their names could not be on the certificate. That was when I realised it was a great injustice. I agree with what the hon. Gentleman says about someone being confronted with that on the happiest day of their life.
