The risks and penalties of money laundering for charities and how to guard against it
Nicola Finnerty
The newspapers reported last week that MPs are considering whether to remove the requirement for a marriage to be consummated.
Currently, in certain circumstances where a marriage has not been consummated, a party can apply to the Court to have the marriage annulled (by way of a nullity petition).
There is no equivalent requirement for civil partnerships (and therefore a civil partnership cannot be annulled on the basis of non-consummation), which fuels the debate over whether marriage and civil partnerships can be considered to be on an equal footing.
