Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what support is available to British Citizens applying under the British Subjects Facilities Act 1915.

Marriage law within the United Kingdom is a devolved matter and the Home Office is only responsible for England and Wales.

A British subject resident within England and Wales, who wishes to marry outside of England and Wales, can obtain advice online at www.gov.uk/marriage-abroad. They can also obtain advice from their local register office and from a British embassy, High Commission, or Consulate within the country where they are marrying.

Ultimately it is for couples to contact the authorities in the country in which they wish to marry to ensure that they meet with the legal requirements of that country.
