Handfasting was very common among the 'lower orders' who couldn't afford a priest even if there were one available (not many in the depths of the highlands or the Debatable Lands of the borders). Handfasting often occurred at a fair eg Lammastide when a couple promised to bide together for 'a year and a day' presumably to find out if the bride was fertile! Even now there are people in Scotland who think a 'common law' marriage is legal.Marie Macphersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10906943465845474431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-36899828789994329382016-11-01T01:39:12.232-07:002016-11-01T01:39:12.232-07:00Absolutely fascinating and a very clear exposition...Absolutely fascinating and a very clear exposition of the various positions, thank youAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202626609252203624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-16992203227262514012016-11-01T01:32:49.975-07:002016-11-01T01:32:49.975-07:00Great post!Great post!Laura Libricz, Authoresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12794277166597726678noreply@blogger.com
