Book
The marriage act : a novel / John Marrs.
What if marriage was the law? Dare you disobey? Britain. The near-future. A right-wing government believes it has the answer to society's ills the Sanctity of Marriage Act, which actively encourages marriage as the norm, punishing those who choose to remain single. But four couples are about to discover just how impossible relationships can be when the government is monitoring every aspect of our personal lives, monitoring every word, every minor disagreement ... and will use every tool in its arsenal to ensure everyone will love, honour and obey.
