She must have known the laws but still broke them. The guy who had not been married got off lighter.

If you think about marrage vows taken in churches in this country . Both partners swear in front of almighty God to be true. Ok I realise in reg offices the vows are different but a contract is still made. Both hold no water in law. For someone to breach a contract with God in a country where it is held held in the highest order is asking for it. Not that I agree with it



i'm an atheist there is no one to swear in front of.
[COLOR="Silver"]then you wouldnt be getting married in a church then would you? in your opinion there is no one to swear in front of but those who do believe and do get married in a church are making a big promise

perhaps she was divorced somewhere else? perhaps a different province

she could have still kept your pants on though kymmy she must have known the law
