    As Rayna said:-
    - she is the holder of a UK visit visa which means she not allowed to marry as per the declaration made and signed when making the visa application.

    - She does not hold the correct documentation for the authorities in UK to legally perform a marriage

    - She would need a Schengen visa to enter an EU country which she would be unable to secure here in UK as she does not have leave to remain for 6 months or more. She would need to apply and be granted a Schengen visa from Philippines to be able to enter an EU Schengen country.
    I don't know the full requirements for getting married in the EU but unlikely that a temporary visit/tourist visa would be accepted.

    There's no problem to get married in any country provided she has the correct visa.
    For UK that would be Marriage Visa. Not Visit Visa.

    Of course it IS possible to get married illegally, but then living a completely illegal existance as an undocumented immigrant isn't a good start to married life.

    Just think the money they would save on NOT going back and forth to the Philippines every other year as most of us do/did.
    Like Graham said, there's no such thing as divorce so who's law are we talking about God's or the law of the land.

    If enough money is being earn't why bother with any of it..just stay here and sod them all.

    Just my opinion

    Are you suggesting she just overstays here on a visit visa?
    Or am I wrong again?

    It's really not rocket science, it's very simple.
    As I said, they can get married in any country provided she has the correct visa.
    If she had a UK marriage visa she could get married here in UK.

    If she was the respondent in the UK divorce it's quite easy to have that legally recognised in the Philippines then she'd even be free to marry in the Philippines. Period.
