A decline in the number of people getting married in the UK has prompted calls for the Government to introduce financial incentives for people to tie the knot. It follows an increase in marriages in Hungary where the Government there introduced pro-marriage policies.
The Marriage Foundation charity has suggested Britain also find ways to encourage people to get married to reverse the downward trend. It praised Hungary's success as 'nothing short of a miracle', the Telegraph reports.
Hungary has introduced a number of policies, including married couples being able to get a one-off payment of £28,000 to go towards a house - but they have to pledge to have three children. They can also apply for a further £40,000 residential loan on the same basis.
