Husband getting married

[Grassisalotgreener]

Separated 13 years, no contact since children came of age, separated as a result of dv. I was informed today that he is getting Married next week .
Should i inform someone in authority?
Aibu if i report him, i was delighted when he moved on so not upset he is getting married,but im astounded because we are not divorced!

What's wrong with enjoying it it the law says you must?

Yes, if you suspect a marriage is bigamous (where the groom is already married), you should report it to the police, as bigamy is a criminal offense.

Here's why and what to do:

Bigamy is illegal:
Marrying someone while already legally married to another person is a crime, known as bigamy.
The second marriage is void:
A bigamous marriage is considered invalid and has no legal standing.
Report to the police:
If you suspect a bigamous marriage, contact your local police department via their non-emergency number (e.g., 101 in the UK).
Don't hesitate to report:
If you have reason to believe a marriage is bigamous, it's important to report it to the authorities so that the situation can be investigated.

What bans would they be @alfiecatfus?
Bans don't exist in Ireland.

... Not the other U.K. countries...

You do realise Ireland IS NOT ANY SORT OF UK COUNTRY!!!! FFS 800 Years of oppression and still.......

Here's why and what to do:
Legal Consequences:
Under Irish law, someone who is already validly married or in a civil partnership cannot get married again.

Void Marriage:
If a marriage ceremony takes place while one party is already married, the marriage is considered void.

Reporting:
If you have reason to believe someone is already married, you should contact the Civil Registration Service (HSE).

Notification:
Couples intending to marry must give notice to the registrar at least 3 months before the wedding date.

Exemption Orders:
In exceptional circumstances, a court may grant an exemption order, but this is rare.

Contact the Civil Registration Service:
They will advise you on how to proceed and what information is needed.

Apologies I didn’t realise it was in Ireland. But the point is the same. You can still log an objection with the local registrar. The 3 month thing is the same principle.

Report it AFTER he gets “married” again for the most fireworks

The OP has said many times she's not in the UK. She's in RoI.

Nasty!

She doesn't need to do anything
It's not her problem.
It's nothing to do with her.

It's not her circus and not her clown car. Her ONLY duty is to keep herself and her children safe, and not let herself get put into the cross-hairs of an abusive, nasty jerk.

They didn't, they quite clearly said they knew they were wrong. Not sure why people keep bringing it up.

Another person that can't read

It's NOT her job to report anything. Stop trying to get your jollies at the OP's expense!
Her duty is to keep herself and her children safe and that is all!

I wish posters would at LEAST read the OP's posts and STOP trying to tell her what to do. She is a grown woman who had to fight to survive that nasty wreck of a man.

This is the biggest pile of crap. She is not going to be held complicit if he commits a crime. Away and give my head peace.

Put yourself first. Decide it is some silly, meaningless commitment ceremony. Have a private chuckle at the silliness of a man who is still legally tied to another woman (you!) bothering with such a meaningless thing. Spend a couple of hours googling “stupidest commitment ceremony ever” and having a good chuckle. Then go back to enjoying your good, peaceful life.

US here, just to chime in, a funny/sad story. My stepfather married again after splitting with my mom but no divorce (he needed someone to watch his kids for free and cook) and got caught. Said "he'd forgotten he was married" and got a slap on the wrist.

Not one of my mom's better picks, I have to say. My mom was obviously not in any trouble.

All the same, I have posted the Irish Law. It is much the same, using names of different departments.

I am getting no jolies out of this. It is a very nasty thing to say. I looked up the Irish law and it MUST be reported if you know of someone who intends to marry bigamously.

Ignorance of the law is no defence.

Then she shouldn't have posted, or even considered it, because now she knows and has to say something, otherwise she will be deemed to have interfered with the justice system.

This!!
Karma is very patient!

That doesn’t say it MUST be reported as you stated upthread @llizzie?
Should doesn’t mean must.

That is pedantic. It gives advice on what to do, and the relevant department. Splitting hairs is hardly conducive to friendly posts, is it?
