GRETNA SCANDAL
CLANDESTINE AND IRREGULAR WEDDING
OVERTURE TO ASSEMBLY
The large number of irregular marriages in Scotland, and the continued "scandal" of clandestino marriages at Gretna Green, caused expressions of concern at a meet- Ing of the Synod of Dumfries of the Church of Scotland, held at Dumfries not long ago.
The Synod agreed to make overtures to the General Assembly to renow their appeal to the Gov- ernment for legislation, giving to the marriage law of Scotland all proper safeguards. It was stated that although the attention of the Secretary of State had been drawn to this matter in 1930, no change in the law had yet taken place.
The terms of the Synod's over-
ture are as follows:-
"Whereas the General Assembly In 1929 and 1930 expressed concern at the large number of irregular! marringes in Scotland, and at the continued scandal of the clandes- ting marriages at Gretna Green, and gave instructions that the atten tion of the Secretary of State for Scotland be drawn to this serious matter with a view to promoting legialation for amendment of the! Scottish marriage law; and where-i as no change in the law has yet takon pince, though the scandal complained of continues, with con- sequences even more harmful to the mural and social wellbeing, it Is humbly overtured by the Synod

The present situation, conclud- ed Mr. Auty, lowered the whole ideal of marriage, cheapened the relations of the sexes, was menace to home life, and wronged the children.
