Comments on four family law cases heard in the Court of Session: (1) Wetherhill v Sheikh on the doctrine of marriage by cohabitation with habit and repute; (2) Kaur v Singh on the threats which could vitiate consent to a forced marriage and choice of law; (3) B v B on jurisdiction issues in contact disputes; and (4) Sweeney v Sweeney (No.2) on special circumstances which justified a decision not to share matrimonial assets equally.
