Louisa Hodkin and Alessandro Calcioli won a Supreme Court challenge and have got married in a Church of Scientology chapel in London.

Louisa Hodkin started the legal action after officials refused to register the Church of Scientology chapel as a place for marriage.

The chapel had been refused as a wedding venue by a 1970 High Court ruling which said Scientology services were not “acts of worship”.

In December, not one but five Supreme Court judges ruled the church was a “place of meeting for religious worship”.

Ms Hodkin said she was proud her victory had ended “inequality”.
