520 |a Throughout the eighteenth century and beyond, under Scottish law mutual consent was the only thing required to constitute an irregular but legally binding marriage. If either party denied that a marriage existed it was open to the other to raise a declarator of marriage action before Edinburgh Commissary Court and provide evidence – for example, letters, or verbal acknowledgements – which would enable the court to decree that a legal marriage existed. Witnesses' perceptions of disputed relationships emerge from the records. Less than a third of the women whose cases were contested succeeded in proving a marriage, and accounts of cases in which women were decreed to be wives and those in which they were decreed to be mistresses reveal what a fine line there was between the two.
