Talk:Scots family law

This article was nominated for deletion on 6 January 2009 (UTC). The result of the discussion was keep.

Removal of false claim

I have removed this (unreferenced) claim:

"It is important historically because common law marriage was first created in Scotland."

This government paper states explicitly "Common law marriage does not exist in Scotland.":

Both comments aee absolutely true. I believe that Scotland was the birthplace of common law marriage,^{[citation needed]} but then elminated it. Bearian (talk) 16:41, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Developing Article

Over the next little while I am going to try to work on expanding and developing this article. Scots family law is a unique sysetm very distinct from England & Wales / Northern Ireland and it is also of special interest to the public. I prefer to craft sections in my sandbox before copying them over to the article to ensure that I am happy with it before making the edit public. Given that this article basically has no information currenlty, I hope this approach is ok with everyone. I will, however, move them as I go section by section to allow for people to review/comment/amend as they see fit.

My proposed outline for the article is:

Marriage and civil partnership Done
Marriage

Civil ceremony

Religious ceremony

Legal impediments to marriage

Civil partnership

Legal impediments to civil partnership

Legal rights and obligations
Marriage

Aliment

Moveable property

Inheritance

Criminal law

Civil partnership

Occupancy rights

Moveable property

Inheritance

Criminal law

Divorce and dissolution Done

Marriage

Civil partnership

Cohabitation

Children

Legitimacy

Parental responsiblities and rights

Adoption

Legal capacity

---

This outline will probably be changed as I write the article, but comments are welcome on the outline now. Cohabitation will obviously need sub-headings as well. Connolly15 (talk) 15:33, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
