Modernise marriage vows "Till Death Do Us Part" to "Till Divorce Do Us Part"

Modernise marriage vows "Till Death Do Us Part" to "Till Divorce Do Us Part" — 7 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Marriage is a voluntary legal partnership that can end through divorce. We want the Government to replace "Till death do us part" with "Till divorce do us part" in civil marriage vows to reflect modern law and reinforce that every person has the right to leave a marriage safely and lawfully.

Additional details

Marriage is a legal partnership that can end through divorce. We believe civil marriage vows should reflect modern law by replacing "Till death do us part" with "Till divorce do us part". This would reinforce that marriage is based on mutual consent, equality and respect, and that relationships should end through the legal process of divorce, not violence or coercion.
