Could a marriage be stopped legally

[McNewPants2013]

This is sort of about Jeremy Forrest but could a judge make an order that means they can't marry.

[littlewhitebag]

In Scotland they can get married when she is 16. No parental consent required. He will, however be in prison which may be a bit of a stumbling block.

! I never liked him. Always came across as a odd ball.

There was rumours of some inappropriate phone calls with a girl in my year. He used to sing songs.to jer in class.

Nothing was done about though. Very glad he was caught eventually.

McNew hopefully in a couple of years this girl will be beyond not interested. I find it utterly shocking her father supports the idea. Not a normal parental attitude.

[Alisvolatpropiis]

Small world isn't it Mike!

[McNewPants2013]

It's a shame nothing can be done to stop the wedding.

[Alisvolatpropiis]

Yes they were

[MikeLitoris]

Alis iirc you are in S Wales? Similar story with my music teacher. Were his initials DJ?

[ImTooHecsyForYourParty]

Yes, a wedding can be stopped if it is shown that one or both lack capacity.

[edam]

I know SS have stepped in to stop weddings where they believe one party lacks capacity (via a court order).

Doubt anything can be done for this girl once she's 18 though, but as everyone says, he'll probably have lost interest by then. Poor kid.

[Portofino]

She allowed to visit him? would not SS be involved?

[Alisvolatpropiis]

*18 but still pupils at the school.

[Alisvolatpropiis]

I wouldn't be surprised if they did marry.

Happened with a girl a few years older than me at school and the music teacher. He got caught,served a custodial sentence,they married when he got out. Have two kids now. She was 14 when it started (there was no evidence but she was). He slept with two of her friends,though only one of them came forward and confirmed this after it all came out when they were 18. He'd been told to leave the school he'd been a prior to mine because his unhealthy interest in the young girls had been noticed. That school allowed him to leave and act on it rather than deal with him themselves. Vile on so many levels.

[TidyDancer]

She is being allowed to visit and her father supports the marriage idea. It's all very strange for various reasons.

[McNewPants2013]

I said sort of because in RL if anyone suspect there is domestic abuse or there is a SN which meant that they didnt know what a marriage is could the wedding be stopped.

[Portofino]

Everyone still seems be buying in to the "tragic romance" of this case, rather than this being a predatory paedophile who committed a crime.

[TimeofChange]

I know a 12 year old girl who was in a relationship with a bloke who must have been 35 - 40.
They are now married and have children.

SS were involved, but the bloke & girl just said she was a lodger and had a seperate bedroom (she moved in with him when she was 14).
His wife obviously left so did the son.

All very wierd.

[hiddenhome]

Yes, I hope she moves on with her life and that his dick rots and he ends up sleeping in gutters with rats pissing on him.

[Portofino]

I would think now the trial is over he will have no further use for the poor girl. and it's not like they will be able to write to,each other/visit either. I hope she has some good real life support / counselling.

[hiddenhome]

According to MIL's DM, he's pursued other teens. She isn't the first. He's predatory, just like Savile

[HeartsTrumpDiamonds]

I'd put money on it never happening too.

[McNewPants2013]

It has just got me thinking.

[TheRealFellatio]

A teacher at my senior school married one of the female pupils as soon as she hit 16 and then left school. He seemed to me to be about 40 back then, but I was only 11 so he could have been younger - everyone looked old to me.

[hiddenhome]

No, she'll be knocking on by the time he gets out. Positively old.

[BridgetBidet]

She won't be able to do it until she's 18 unless she has her parents permission. I assume that she would have to get it from both parents and her mother is unlikely to give it.

But if she is 18 and she decides this is what she wants to do when she is an adult I don't think it's right she should be stopped. Once she's an adult she's free to do what she likes.

[ImTooHecsyForYourParty]

ARGH. RL to you, I mean.

Good god.
