Protecting Marriage Law: One Standard for All
Faith Facts
- Biblical marriage, upheld by British law, provides essential protection for women and children.
- The Coalition for Marriage is urging the UK to make civil marriage compulsory before or at any religious ceremony to uphold justice and social order.
- A government review has warned that legitimising alternative “courts” risks undermining family stability and Christian values in society.
Safeguarding the institution of marriage is fundamental to strengthening family life and building a free, just society rooted in Christian principles.
Christian and Jewish marriages are already faithfully aligned with British law, but current confusion is causing the rise of “parallel” marriages which threaten the rights and safety of women and children.
The Coalition for Marriage has challenged misleading official statements equating sharia councils with lawful family courts, pointing out that only civil marriage ensures legal rights and protection.
“Stop legitimising private forums as ‘courts’ in official speech”
C4M urged.
There must be one law of marriage for all, ensuring clear accountability and safeguarding all families, especially the most vulnerable.
The call for compulsory civil marriage with strong penalties aligns with biblical justice and protects the dignity of every person made in God’s image.
“A civil marriage gives both spouses the protections that private ceremonies simply do not”
C4M said.
Faithful Christians are called to honor God’s design for marriage, uphold the law, and shine a light for righteousness in public life.

- Oxford mathematician and Christian apologist Professor John Lennox encourages believers to share their faith with confidence.
- Lennox stresses that evangelism is not reserved only for preachers, theologians, or those with extensive biblical knowledge.
- Every Christian is called to be a witness for Christ in daily life.
Oxford mathematician and Christian apologist Professor John Lennox is urging believers everywhere to share their faith with greater boldness and confidence. He reminds Christians that the call to witness is not limited to pastors or scholars but belongs to every follower of Christ.
“We’re all called to be witnesses,” Lennox declares. This simple truth challenges the idea that only trained experts can effectively share the gospel.
Professor Lennox emphasizes that evangelism is not about having every theological answer or delivering polished sermons. Instead, it is about living out and speaking the truth of Christ wherever God places His people.
His words come as a timely encouragement to Christians who may feel hesitant or unqualified to speak about their faith. Lennox points to the biblical calling that every believer is a witness, empowered by the Holy Spirit to share the hope within them.
