Great idea but…..

In theory this is a good idea but I have some doubts!

There has recently been in the press the mention of ‘arranged’ marriages and marriages of ‘convenience’, especially relating to foreign nationals who want an ’easy way in’ to the UK - and are actually willing to pay for the privilege……

It may be the case that by giving tax breaks to married couples we will see a dramatic increase in marriages of convenience, the difference being that both parties will be UK citizens.

Let’s face it getting married can’t get much simpler, apply for a licence followed by a quick trip down the local registry office, along with a couple of mates as witnesses, and Bob’s your uncle! At a very small cost!

Then, when the convenience becomes a problem it is just as easy to file for a ‘quickie’ divorce. Again at a very small cost!

Yes, in theory this sounds like a great idea but it needs a bit more thought! I agree that ‘family’ is important but a ‘family of convenience’ is NOT going to solve any problems and will probably cause additional issues as yet unseen!
