what if a person a person previously married according to the Muslim law, how is Canadian divorce law apply to him???
Already Tried: have not tried anything yet
Where did the person marry?And in that jurisdiction was the marriage considered to be valid?
was married in a Djibouti ( a muslim country) in Africa.
In that country is the marriage considered to be legally valid or just in a religious sense?
just in religious sense
Then Canada does not recognize your marriage as valid.You never were married legallySo from what I gather you are common law spouses then.It doesn't sound like a case where you need an annulment as you never went through a civil ceremony.If you would like any additional information or have more questions please don’t hesitate to ask!
