Disabled woman's unborn baby row

Oct 20 2009

A pregnant woman with a learning disability could face having her child taken into care after it is born.

Kerry Robertson, 17, was last year prevented from getting married after it was claimed she lacked the capacity to consent to the ceremony.

Miss Robertson, of Dunfermline in Fife, is now involved in an ongoing legal dispute to determine whether she has sufficient mental capacity to marry her fiance Mark McDougall.
