The legal recognition of belief marriages in the Marriage (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2020

Abstract

This paper deals with the study of the legal recognition of humanist marriage or, more widely speaking, of belief marriages in the Bailiwick of Guernsey, that has recently taken place by means of the Marriage (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2020. Humanist and other belief marriages are al last legally recognised in this Bailiwick as they have been already accepted as valid marriages in almost all the other jurisdictions in the British Islands.
