Family

Marriage and the family form the bedrock of society, yet have suffered greatly as a result of the UK choosing secular humanism over the Christian faith. There has been a great increase in family breakdown, and the concept of marriage itself as a covenant between a man and a woman for life has been under sustained assault. At Christian Concern we campaign for legislation that supports traditional marriage and the family, for the benefit of the whole of society.

  • Proposals to give cohabiting couples increased rights are dropped
    September 7th, 2011
    Controversial measures that would have given unmarried couples the same rights as married couples have now been rejected. The proposals from the Law Commission, which were first published in 2009, would have given inheritance rights to unmarried couples who had been living together for at least two years, and would have led to couples who had cohabited for 5 years or more being treated in the same way as married couples.
