Jurisdiction that allows you to remarry your spouse

 Share

Recommended Posts

For reasons I dont want to get into here, we need to marry again without divorcing (same spouse). In essence, we want to marry again.

 

The only jurisdiction I have found that allows this is New York. 

 

Unfortunately, we cannot be in new york together. Is there any other jurisdiction anywhere that allows this?

 

Thanks

Yup this is a pretty odd question. If there is no divorce, what is the need for a "re-marriage"??

If the first marriage occurred prior to one of the party being legally able to marry therefore the first marriage is technically not legal but they don’t want to draw attention to it by divorcing which could lead to questions of bigamous or non consented marriage if too young to marry would be my guess but without further info we can’t confirm. There has been a few cases of this lately, people not waiting until after waiting period of a divorce to become final.

So, it sounds like you want the second marriage to be effective on the same date as marriage #1.......even that could cause serious consequences.

You realize that you must provide ALL marriage certificates right?  A "re-marriage" does not excuse you from having to provide the 1st marriage certificate.  

and what happens if the second marriage invalidates events tied to the first marriage?......oh, man....

What's the issues with the certificate?  If you don't want to provide good information, then you will not get good answers.  No one can give you a proper answer.

Entered country under fake name which was subsequently used for the first marriage now needs a new marriage in real name to adjust status - OP I know I am being a tad facetious but without details we have to make assumptions that might be incorrect.

 

I really do want to help you but it sounds as if you are trying to get around something which cannot be evaded. If it’s a simple misspelling or dob incorrect you can probably correct it at the county records.

We will disclose both marriages. That is something our lawyer has advised as well. I just need to know if there is any jurisdiction (like new york) that allows a couple to remarry with a new marriage date and certificate. 

Sorta like this:

We had a destination wedding in an asian country where neither of us is a resident, dont speak,read, or understand the language and everything there is via intermediaries who are essentially asking for bribes to get anything done.
