Law Reform (Husband and Wife) (Scotland) Act 1984
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
5 Abolition of certain rules relating to antenuptial marriage contracts.
(1) In relation to an antenuptial contract of marriage entered into after this Act comes into force— (a) any rule of law enabling a woman to create an alimentary right in her own favour in respect of any property provided by her shall cease to have effect; (b) any rule of law whereby the marriage is onerous consideration for any provision of the contract, shall cease to have effect. (2) Nothing in paragraph (b) of subsection (1) above shall affect the operation of any enactment relating to gifts in consideration of marriage.

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.
