Victory! Today the Prime Minister announced that he has instructed the Home Office to address the inequality on marriage certificates and allow mothers' name to appear alongside fathers. I am overjoyed that together with over 70,000 supporters, mobilised via change.org, I've succeeded in persuading the Government that mothers' names should be recorded on marriage certificates alongside fathers' names. David Cameron said: "The content of marriage registers in England and Wales has not changed since the beginning of Queen Victoria’s reign. At the moment, they require details of the couples’ fathers, but not their mothers. This clearly doesn’t reflect modern Britain - and it’s high time the system was updated. So I have asked the Home Office to look at how we can address this too." When I started this petition just over a year ago, inspired by Caroline Criado-Perez's campaign to get a woman on a banknote, I never imagined I would get so much support and that the Prime Minister would respond to our calls -- and on my wedding anniversary!   This wouldn't have happened without your signature and support, so thank you. For some this might seem like a small inequality to address but for me it is part of a much wider pattern where women have been written out of history. But from banknotes to marriage certificates we are coming together to change that! I hope this shows what people and petitions can do. We'll of course be keeping an eye to make sure the Home Office follow the Prime Minister's instruction and speedily make this change. Thank you for all your support - we did it! Ailsa
