To marry or not to marry?

Research indicates that the majority of the public are unaware of the legal differences between marriage and cohabitation. Most people (61%, according to a recent survey) mistakenly believe that living together can give you the same rights as marriage.

One Plus One's website "Married or Not" provides at-a-glance information on the legal differences between married and unmarried couples, along with direct links to additional sources of information and help to download and a directory of organisations providing expert advice.

The web site was created as part of the Government-backed campaign 'Living Together' to dispel the common law marriage myth and to better inform cohabiting couples in England and Wales of their legal rights. Why not check it out today, and make your decision an informed one.
