Quaker marriage is not an alternative form of marriage available to the general public, but is for members and those who, whilst not being in formal membership, are in unity with its religious nature and witness.

Additionally, the Marriage Act 1949 relating to England & Wales places certain limitations on who may be married according to Friends' usage.
