What if someone was able to marry someone in CA and then years later meet someone in MD and tell them they were divorced...
Then stand before another court clerk and claim they have never been married...
Then obtain a marriage license in MD and marry the new person...
Then in the new "marriage" be an abuser...
The abused spouse files for a divorce in 1 city within MD...
Then the other individual files for an annulment because they claimed they did not know they were still married (remember they told the clerk they were never married but told their new spouse they were divorced)-in another city within the SAME state...
And finally - even though the 1 spouse filed for their divorce prior to this individual filing for an annulment - the individual who filed for the annulment was GRANTED the annulment without the other spouse being aware of the case in the other city WITHIN the SAME state?
And get away without any penalty or consequences?
There needs to be a database so that ALL jurisdictions authorized to perform marriage ceremonies-may access it and verify marital status and eliminate the possibility of multiple/overlapping marriages.
We, the undersigned call on the UN to establish a global marital database so that individuals are not able to marry multiple spouses.
This way the jurisdictions are able to verify an individuals status prior to performing ceremonies, as well as identify an violators.
