The Marriage (Wales) Act 2010 is an Act of Parliament in the United Kingdom. Introduced as a private member’s Bill by Alun Michael MP, it received royal assent on 18 March 2010. It provides the Welsh counterpart to the Church of England Marriage Measure 2008 No. 1.

Prior to the Act, when two people wished to get married in Wales ordinarily at least one of them would have to live in the parish where they would get married. The Act allows couples to use residency of parents or grandparents or regular attendance in the specific Church as a valid condition to be married in that parish.^[1]
