Part II U.K. Recognition of Divorces, Annulments and Legal Separations

Supplemental U.K.

50 Non-recognition of divorce or annulment in another jurisdiction no bar to remarriage. U.K.

Where, in any part of the United Kingdom—

(a) a divorce or annulment has been granted by a court of civil jurisdiction, or

(b) the validity of a divorce or annulment is recognised by virtue of this Part,

the fact that the divorce or annulment would not be recognised elsewhere shall not preclude either party to the marriage from re-marrying in that part of the United Kingdom or cause the re-marriage of either party (wherever the re-marriage takes place) to be treated as invalid in that part.
