Girls - marriage without legal registration?
Just wondering how you girls would feel if ur boy/f asked you to marry them (i.e.go through a wedding ceremony and exchange vows) but not be legally married?
Would being married in the 'eyes of God' be enough?

Looking for a way to 'get married' but not have to go through a legal divorce later? 
Nah, more looking to satisfy a girls want for marriage without risking my finances. I know that sounds cold but if someones insists on legal registration, aren't they marying for the wrong reasons?

Jeez, no. If you don't marry legally, then you die, you poor woman won't get anything. Think about that.
Just keep all your accounts in your name alone, not joint ones, then there can't be a dispute. Unless she's a bitch, in which case, why would you marry her in the first place?

I'd kind of think, what's the point of that? I don't know if I believe in God so no, it wouldn't be enough. If we were going to do it, I'd want to do it properly.
in other words, she wants half of everything

but surely getting married is a religious ceremony?
God didn't mention legal registration. Surely its the promises that count?

Don't tell me you're thinking of getting married.
This seems to be the opposite way round from the current trend i.e. getting married legally in a civil ceremony but not religiously.
And no, I wouldn't do that.

Yes, Prenuptual Agreements are the way forward sire.
Pre-nups dont hold much water over in UK. Altho useful, its not like the US.

If I ever get married it will be for practical reasons (no, not because I want half of everything
) rather than religious, so I don't care what God did or didn't mention. I can promise the things you do in wedding vows without it being in front of a large group of people whilst wearing a pretty dress.Reply 14

Surely, if you dont believe in the vows (and for them to suffice) then why tie yourself to someone legally when you think he might break them?
They do actually. They are a legal document.
If you don't want to get married properly, then don't get married at all. It's a big deal, not an extension of a relationship.
When you get married you take on all their credit history, and they take on yours. It's only a step away from joint bank accounts, a mortgage, kids, etc.
Plus you'd need to save up for a wedding. A religious ceremony can cost 500 quid just to use a minister and church.

I know what weight a pre-nup carries over in UK.
Surely a marriage is founded upon the promises you make and not all the legal stuff.

You'd need to sumbit notice and intention to marry to the local council. No one would marry you unless it was legalised. No church or minister would marry you as it's against the law.
Sounds stupid to be honest.

That's not true! You can be married by a spiritual advisor without registering it legally (at least in the US). Why would the UK government care if two people are living together as partners, and that their Hindu leader from India married them without them registering it? It doesn't seem illegal to me. I'm Nigerian, I know I could go back to my ancestral town and get married by a traditional leader, but it wouldn't be legal if we went to a different country.

When you marry legally, then it carries a lot more security. At least, that's what I think 
so you wouldnt trust someone's word?
