Registrar General

I repeat.

In UK law a person who has been lawfully married can never have the marriage annulled.

If a legal definition of a person whose marriage as been annulled has been requested from a lawyer then they will be told they have never been married, thus are single.

If the proceeding were in the Philippines then the person asked would need to know the circumstances. If the marriage never took place then they were never married. If the marriage was legally accepted but then an action was taken to annul it under Filipino law then the position of those concerned cannot in UK law be considered as single. That refers only to someone who has never been married, ie. in a legally accepted ceremony.

Most so called annulments in the Philippines are in UK law divorces.

Hi Johncar,

I can see your point, and that makes most sense.

However, I have been told by the Registrar General to amend Shei's status on her Notice of Marriage contract to "Single".

This was because "In The Philippines, an individual reverts to their pre-marriage condition following an annulment. Therefore, the authorisation for marriage cannot be issued until both of you arrend this office to witness a correction to your notice of marriage".

Yes under the UK law a person who has been lawfully married can never have the marriage annulled because there is divorce here not annulment.

If a legal definition of a person whose marriage as been annulled has been requested from a lawyer then they will be told they have never been married, thus are single.

Yes a person who has undergone annulment in the Phils has his/her status as single in her papers whilst in the Phils and when she goes to another country he/she bears that status as well.

If the proceeding were in the Philippines then the person asked would need to know the circumstances. If the marriage never took place then they were never married. If the marriage was legally accepted but then an action was taken to annul it under Filipino law then the position of those concerned cannot in UK law be considered as single. That refers only to someone who has never been married, ie. in a legally accepted ceremony.

Single - means never been married. Since a person who has undergone annulment is considered as marriage that never took place then if it never happend or never took place then the person is single...

Most so called annulments in the Philippines are in UK law divorces.

Yes we know that annulments in the Philippines are called divorces in the UK.
