| Discussing the papers for the BBC News Channel, pensions expert Ros Altmann expressed disbelief at judge Sir Paul Coleridge's remarks about marriage, saying: "What era is this man living in? We've moved on from all that. People do live quite happily with children without being married." | |

| "I don't know where this man has been hiding but barely a week goes by without David Cameron banging on about marriage and his ridiculous marriage tax break," he said. "So this man seems to not only have views from the dark ages, but he seems to be completely out of touch with what's happening in Britain as well." |
