Marriage in Scotland is recognised in the form of both civil and religious unions between individuals. Historically, the law of marriage has developed differently in Scotland to other jurisdictions in the United Kingdom as a consequence of the differences in Scots law and role of the separate established Church of Scotland. These differences led to a tradition of couples from England and Wales eloping to Scotland, most famously to marry at border towns such as Gretna Green. The legal minimum age to enter into a marriage in Scotland is sixteen years and does not require parental consent at any age.

  • En Écosse, les traditions entourant le mariage s'inscrivent dans la continuité des coutumes du reste de l'Europe. Certaines dispositions légales et les traditions propres à l'Écosse le singularisent toutefois. En 2007, on a compté 29 866 mariages en Écosse, contre 29 898 l'année précédente. (fr)
