MATRIMONIAL: Foreign marriage presumed valid despite absence of documentary evidence
The England & Wales Court of Appeal has ruled that a Syrian couple living in England had indeed been validly married in Homs, Syria, in 1999 – despite the absence of paperwork to prove it. The husband, faced with a financial remedy claim from the wife, claimed that the marriage never took place, but Lord Justice McFarlane in the Court of Appeal of England and Wales noted that he had previously asserted the existence of the marriage from beginning to end (Hayatleh v Mofdy, 2017 EWCA Civ 70). The documentary evidence may have been lost through bomb destruction of the Homs courthouse.
