Polygamy and the Limping Marriage
† by BRIAN HARVEY
Lecturer in Law in the University of Birmingham
English law does not recognise all foreign divorces. So a person may be regarded as divorced and therefore single abroad, but as married and unable to remarry here-a situation known as the limping marriage. This creates particular difficulties for an innocent party seeking a divorce here, especially where the marriage was potentially polygamous. Mr. Harvey explains why he thinks there should be a more liberal attitude.
