Introduction
"A passage in our history which we could not look back upon without shame": the roots of discontent, c.1835-48
Restraining the "devil in our sisters" : James Wortley's marriage affinity bills and the Scottish response, 1849-51
The "misery of Scotch law" : political discourses, legal precedents and cultural representations, c.1851-69
"Sleeping while the enemy is busy sowing his tares" : the challenge to scripture, c.1851-88
"The man is everything, and the woman nothing" : protecting, purifying and conceptualising the family, 1862-88
"It is too readily assumed that all those who are opposed to this kind of marriage are idiots" : public opinion, print and personal conscience, 1862-1906
"It is time this controversy should end" : reform and reaction
Conclusion: a woman's question, a man's need, a class's interest?
