My friend is not sure if her marriage certificate is valid?

Question

my friend ot married 7 years ago but has split since then and she is not sure if her marriage certificate is valid or not as the have got part of her name wrong on it she need to know a she wants a divorce and if it is not valid then she will not have to file for a divorce

Answer 1

If she was at the marriage ceremony and said "I Do", she is married.

She needs to get in touch with the issuer to get it rectified.

Mick Jagger knows alot about valid marriage certificates, this is probably not a similar case.

Answer 2

Sounds like a stretch to me. If it is deemed invalid, is she going to go back and repay any benefits she had received over those seven years as a married person?

Answer 3

Of course it is valid. She signed it.

Yes she needs to go through the legal process of divorce or she will become a Bigamist and that is a serious offence in the UK.

Answer 4

I think that she is clutching at straws.

Answer 5

If she intended it to be valid, it is valid and she'll need a divorce.  Clerical errors do not void contracts.

Answer 6

if her names wrong its not valid
