Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill — New Clause 8 — Domestic protection for persons — 20 May 2013 at 19:00

The majority of MPs voted against strengthening protections for those not wishing to conduct or participate in a religious marriage ceremony due to it being a marriage of a same sex couple.

The Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill[1][2] contained a provision (clause 2[3]) which prevents individuals and religious organisations who do not wish to conduct or participate in a religious marriage ceremony on the ground that it is a marriage of a same sex couple from being compelled to carry out, or participate in, such a marriage ceremony.

The proposed clause would have clarified the meaning of "compelled", with an apparent intent of strengthening the proposed provision.

The text of the proposed new clause rejected in this vote was:

  • (1) For the purposes of this Act “compelled” includes, but is not limited to—
  • (a) less favourable treatment of a person by a public authority,
  • (b) the imposition of any criminal or civil penalty, and
  • (c) any legal proceedings against a person as a result of a decision not to opt-in, conduct, be present at, carry out, participate in, or consent to the taking place of, relevant marriages.
  • (2) Expressions used in this section have the same meaning as the expressions used in section 2 of this Act.’.
