Islamic law; Family law: marriage & divorce

Marriage law in England and Wales is a historical relic which reflects a bygone age.

Successive governments have made a series of progressive but ad hoc reforms, most notably the introduction of civil partnerships and same-sex marriage. However, this has resulted in a legal framework which is complex and controversial, especially in relation to religion.

This book provides the first accessible guide to how contemporary marriage law interacts with religion and identifies pressure points in relation to non-religious organisations and unregistered religious marriages. It reveals the need for the consolidation, modernisation and reform of marriage law and sets out proposals for how the transformation of these laws can be achieved.

Reviews for Religion and Marriage Law: The Need for Reform

Sandberg is to be praised for [this] contribution to an important topic. Law Society Gazette [Sandberg] adroitly surfs the wave created by the Law Commission's current programme of reform... his case for reform is powerful and compelling. Church Times ...the book provides an invaluable and informative assessment of the legal regulation of adult intimate relationships in England and Wales, and of the reform proposals introduced to address this 'antiquated' area of law. What I Wish I Knew About Law School This book should be congratulated for providing comprehensible and clear analysis for this complex and often misunderstood legal subject... [It] truly captures the essence of the need for reform. What I Wish I Knew About Law School
