Divorce (Scotland) Act 1976
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
10 Right of husband to cite paramour as a co-defender and to sue for damages abolished.
(1) After the commencement of this Act the following rights of a husband shall be abolished, that is to say— (a) the right to cite a paramour of his wife as a co-defender in an action for divorce, and (b) the right to claim or to obtain damages (including solatium) from a paramour by way of reparation. (2) Nothing in the provisions of the foregoing subsection shall preclude the court from awarding the expenses of the action for or against the paramour or alleged paramour in accordance with the practice of the court. (3) Section 7 of the Conjugal Rights (Scotland) Amendment Act 1861 (citation of a co-defender in an action for divorce and decree for expenses against him) shall cease to have effect.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
