Discard this post. NHibernate is just working fine. What I was doing was : - create object graph - save object graph with Session - re-create (deserialize) object graph - delete object graph With Session.Delete(myObjectReCreatedWithoutSession) NHibernate would delete the root object but would then only issue Update statements to set to null the foreign keys in the Many sides instead of issuing Delete statements.
Sorry for the confusion!
