@TheVietGwent@shanebrown74@JaneWinward The Marriage and Civil Partnership (Minimum Age) Act 2022, while passed by Westminster, is not UK law as it applies only to England and Wales
@TheVietGwent@shanebrown74@JaneWinward Scottish family law has always been distinct from family law governed by the law of England and Wales. Hence the Marriage (Scotland) Act 1977 and Family Law (Scotland) Act 1985.
@TheVietGwent@shanebrown74@JaneWinward You’re right that pre-1999 all Scottish legislation was passed at Westminster which is the UK Parliament. But that doesn’t mean it was all passed as UK law. Some areas of law have developed on a UK-wide basis. Others have not, even pre-devolution.
@TheVietGwent@shanebrown74@JaneWinward There is no “UK law” on the age at which a person can get married. The current law you are talking about is the law of England & Wales
