remarry same person twice in pakistan

[NZama1]

Im in a situation where i have married my 2nd wife in pakistan without obtaining a uk decree absolute from my first wife as the divorce i obtained from my 1st wife was from the union council in pakistan, on the belief that this would be sufficient and accepted by the immigration authorities

would it not be possible to remarry 2nd wife in pakistan then apply for a spouse visa, instead of applying for a fiance visa, registring the marriage in uk then applying for a spouse visa. The first option would save time and money as you could skip the fiance step??

Can you remarry the 2nd wife in pakistan if technically at the time you were not free to marry her due to not having a uk divorce certificate? although I did have pakistan divorce certificate from union council

If one of you lives in Pakistan permanently then you could get a divorce from the courts there and it will be accepted here.

You cannot remarry your wife in Pakistan as Islamic law does not allow remarriage to the same person and also there is no concept of civil marriage there for muslims, however once you get your divorce in UK your marriage in Pakistan will be accepted here even if it took place before the divorce here. There would not be any need to go down the fiancé route.

Hi,
Ive recently received a refusal of entry clearence letter following my spouse visa application with the following reason

ECO Decision,


In your appendix 2 you have stated that your sponsor was previously married to a dual national of britain and pakistan. to evidence that this marriage has been dissolved you have submitted a divorce certificate issued by the union council in pakistan.
As your sponsors previous spouse was british your sponsor is required to submit a decree absolute issued by a uk court.

I am not satisfied that your sponsor was free to marry and that your marriage is vald. I therefore refuse your application.

My first marriage was with a british national and we went to pakistan to get married, we subsequently seperated and my first wife went to pakistan to issue divorve proceeding through the courts in pakistan as that is where we married. she obtained the official divorce from pakistan. After i recieved the divorce, I then remarried in pakistan and applied for spouse visa, however the ECO is not accpting the divorce from pakistan.

Unsure how to best proceed?
Should i appeal and state that i have now applied for a decree absolute (uncontested) in the uk and that this document is pending, or is it better to make a fresh spouse application and submit the decree absolute with it.
Also adnan111, you say that you have been legally advised that the once i recieive my uk divorce then my 2nd marriage would be recognised as valid. could you let me know who the legal advisor was so i can contact him/her.

Thankyo

You will lose appeal get the decree absolute first and then apply.
