Approves of the Outer House decision in Hakeen v Hussain 2003 SLT 515 which was, disturbingly, overturned by the Inner House in H v H 2005 SLT 1025.

Keywords:   Void marriages, Force and fear, Consent, Marriage notice and marriage schedule, Threats sufficient to annul marriage, Secularity of marriage
