Features an item about the town of Gretna Green, where Scottish law permits marriage at the age of 16 without parental consent. This has resulted in an influx of English teenagers crossing the border to get married. However, couples need to have lived in Scotland for a minimum of 15 days to qualify, causing English couples to live together before marriage, thus 'endangering their morals'. Derek Hart reports for the current affairs programme.
