Sixty-minute marriage

A court in the United Arab Emirates has witnessed what must be one of the shortest marriages in history, reports Emirates 24/7.

The judge presiding over the court in Ras Al Khaimah had complied with a request to solemnise the marriage of an 80-year-old man to a 20-year-old woman.

After spending only an hour in her new husband's home however, the woman came back to the courtroom and asked the same judge for a divorce.

She gave no reason for the request, but after gaining the husband's permission, the judge granted the divorce.

 

John is a partner with Austin Lafferty Ltd and has been with the firm for over 10 years. He has experience in all areas of family law, including divorce and separation, adoption and contact. John believes in amicable negotiation in all his cases. This would apply both in assisting clients in finding suitable arrangements for any children and also in cases where financial settlement is the main issue of concern. In addition, John assists in legal matters relating to the death of a family member or friend, advising on the various processes required depending on whether or not the deceased made a will. He also provides advice on all aspects of conveyancing from buying a house, remortgaging or selling a property.
