Dear marriage supporter,
According to news reports at the weekend, consummation by sexual
intercourse would be removed from matrimonial law if same-sex marriage
gets the go ahead. Our own legal advisers confirm this is the case.
It shows that the plans to redefine marriage are far-reaching. The legal meaning of marriage will be changed for everyone. Which is why you should respond to the Government’s consultation (if you have not already done so). Tell them to leave marriage alone. It only takes 60 seconds to complete your response using our quick, simple form.
Please respond now .
Under the current law, a man and a woman must consummate their marriage. But the details of the law mean a same-sex couple cannot fulfil the requirements involving natural sexual intercourse. The Government's plans to rewrite the marriage law would cause the law of consummation to be torn up. This overturns the whole of our legal tradition. Hardly a small change.
Removing sex from the law of marriage would relegate marriage to nothing more than a written contract between two adults. It would sever any link between marriage and the conception of children.
So, please, tell the Government to leave marriage alone. It only takes 60 seconds to complete a response to the Government’s consultation on redefining marriage. Have you got one minute to tell the Government to save marriage?
The consultation may be a crucial factor in determining whether the plan to redefine marriage goes ahead or not.

We have also produced a handy one-page guide about responding to the consultation. You can download it and give it to your friends.
