Mr Justice Coleridge is to launch Pro-Marriage Foundation

A Family High Court Judge, Mr Justice Coleridge, has announced plans to set up a pro-marriage organisation.

The Marriage Foundation is to provide information on marriage as well as to commission research with a view to campaigning for “family-friendly” policies.  Mr Justice Coleridge said:

“For over forty years of working in the Family Justice system, I have seen the fall-out from these broken relationships.  There are an estimated 3.8 million children currently caught up in the Family Justice system. I personally think that this is a complete scandal…My focus is on the children.  I am unashamedly advocating marriage as the golden standard for couples where children are involved. I desperately want to avoid a moral crusade”
