The Marriage Act 1836 established the foundations of modern
marriage law, allowing couples to marry in register offices and
non-Anglican places of worship for the first time. Rebecca Probert
draws on an exceptionally wide range of primary sources to provide
the first detailed examination of marriage legislation, social
practice, and their mutual interplay, from 1836 through to the
unanticipated demands of the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. She
analyses how and why the law has evolved, closely interrogating the
parliamentary and societal debates behind legislation. She
demonstrates how people have chosen to marry and how those choices
have changed, and evaluates how far the law has been help or
hindrance in enabling couples to marry in ways that reflect their
beliefs, be they religious or secular. In an era of individual
choice and multiculturalism, Tying the Knot sign posts possible
ways in which future legislators might avoid the pitfalls of the
past.
