Abstract
This chapter discusses the key personal legal consequences of marriage and civil partnership. These include the use of surname, sexual intercourse, evidence in legal proceedings, contracts, torts, criminal law, and citizenship and right to live in the UK. It then turns to the implications of marriage on general property law, covering the modern law and reform proposals.
