What it asks
Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to amend the current definition of adultery within legislation so that is not restrictive to gender status.
What the petitioner did first
I have contacted the following to seek support for this petition:
Anne McGuire, Member of Parliament for Stirling
Keith Brown, MSP for Clackmannanshire and Dunblane
Siobhan Mcmahon, MSP for Central Scotland
Nicola Sturgeon, Deputy First Minister Scotland
Also, the Scottish Government's Family and Property Law Team regarding the Marriage and Civil Partnership (Scotland) Act 2014 regarding adultery definition under this law.
I was informed that the Scottish Government at this time has no plans to amend the current law. However, I was provided with general advice and suggestions of how to use alternative strategies to raise the profile of this petition.
