I wonder how the shotgun weddings involving sheep buggering factor into these Scottish stats?

It’s not an odd number of women....those numbers refer to “marriages”, i.e. two people.

Lord help us if the trans-species movement takes root or animals gain human rights.
Then the sheep herder COULD marry the sheep.

Well, the number of gay weddings is eventually self-limiting, while the Catholic weddings, if the couple is reasonably devout, will produce another generation of Catholic weddings.

In view that Scotland’s primary denomination is Church of Scotland (Presbyterian), these are voodoo statistics.

I think the fact that SSA women are more likely to “marry” each other than SSA men are to “marry” each other demonstrates that even for those with this condition, biological differences between the sexes still apply, i.e., women are more into monogamy and “nurturing”, while males are more promiscuous. It seems the natural law will have a way of reasserting itself no matter what lunacy the culture pushes.
