Getting Married Abroad
A marriage which took place abroad under foreign local law cannot be registered here unless one of the couple is a serving member of, or is attached to, the British Armed Forces at the time of the marriage. This should be discussed with the Forces prior to the marriage taking place.
However, a record of the marriage may be lodged in the UK with the General Register Office by depositing an original marriage certificate. This means that in future a marriage certificate could be issued by the General Register Office here, should the need arise.
This makes a later divorce much easier.
