Abstract
First paragraph: It is trite law that proxy marriage – that is, where someone stands in for one of the parties – is not permitted in Scotland. The Marriage (Scotland) Act 1977 requires that the parties should be present at the ceremony, regardless of whether it is civil, or religious or belief, in nature (ss 13(1)(b) and 19(2)(b)).
