Adulterating adultery
Members of the Scottish Parliament in late October were handed a petition proposing that the existing law on adultery should be amended, to cater for same sex couples.

The legal definition of adultery has come into question following the introduction of same sex marriage. Currently, adultery can only take place between a man and a woman in the eyes of the law in Scotland, as in the rest of the UK. As a result, proponents of same sex marriage argue that having no definition of adultery in same sex marriage amounts to a breach of ‘human rights’.
