Is this wrong?

I can't even believe for the sake of a pension, the wedding photos will be interesting. I would hope that if it was done, someone would report it and get any pension payments stopped.

On what basis? Assuming neither party is married to someone else and they're both over the age of consent for marriage (17? 18?).

Legally I can't see there's an issue. It might be interesting explaining it to the kids if they ever find out but that's up to you.

i know you can get married at 16 but dont you have to have parents consent until you are 18,
Legislation changes at such a rate i cant keep up with it all.

A trip down the registry office, 2 witnesses and its done. No need for pictures.

How would you stop the pension? What legal rights do they have.

What happens if said dad married someone his own age, is that wrong?

For the sake of £1800 after tax a month plus a 7% yearly increase.

Yes if under 18 you do need written parental consent to marry in England and Wales.
Parental consent is not required in Scotland where the minimum age is 16.

Doesn't a marriage have to be consumated to be legal? Or is that a myth?

Also the OP says that the Father is talking about getting married, does he have a fiance already?

spouses' pensions are at the discretion of the pension trustees

that's the law; read the rules of the pension scheme

From a pension scheme booklet

Spouse’s pension will normally be one half of yours, subject to the adjustments for non-qualifying components and commuted pension outlined. However, if the age difference between you and your spouse is more than ten years, it will be adjusted. For instance, if your spouse is eleven years younger the spouse’s pension becomes 481⁄2% (not 50%).

and from another

If your spouse or civil partner is more than 12 years younger than you, his/her pension will be reduced to reflect the age difference. This reduction will be 2.5% for every year or part of a year over 12 years, up to a maximum reduction of 50%. If you married or formed a civil partnership within the six months prior to your death, then the Trustees have discretion to withhold your spouse’s or partner’s pension.
