Dear Harold,
We are women who have been in a steady romantic relationship over the past five years. We are both 28 years old and love each other dearly. We recently bought an apartment jointly and moved in together last year. We have now resolved to get married and live officially like a family. However, both our families do not approve of our relationship as lesbians and have branded us outcasts. They have even vowed not to attend our wedding. No one seems to understand that we were in normal relationships with men but walked out after painful break-ups. We both gave our previous relationships, which society terms ‘normal’, a chance, but realised they couldn’t work. We would appreciate your honest legal opinion on whether we can get married in church or the Registrar of Marriages.
