Abstract

In recent years, there has been a rise in both the number of cohabiting couples and those entering into religious-only marriages in England and Wales. Cohabitants are the fastest- growing relationship type, numbering 3.4 million (ONS, 2019), while up to 60 per cent of Muslim couples marrying are thought to be in religious-only marriages (True Vision, 2017). Although these relationship types are conceptually different, with the parties having divergent motivations and beliefs, in both cases the result is all too often inadequate legal protection when the relationship ends, with those who have gone through a religious-only marriage generally having no more rights than those who have gone through no ceremony at all. Despite this shared legal framework, the linkages and overlaps between these two groups have largely been ignored in research, literature and government policy responses. This volume is the first to bring together scholars working in both areas to explore the complexities of the law, the different ways in which individuals experience and navigate the legal framework, and the potential paths for law reform.
