Petition Put the mothers' names on marriage certificates - not just the fathers'.

Mothers do not appear on marriage certificates. Currently only the fathers' names are recorded. Over a year ago the Prime Minister pledged to put the bride and groom's mothers names onto marriage certificates but it hasn't happened. Mothers need recognition too.
