Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[Perdita]

Maria is widowed, not married. I think Tony might be divorced, did not seem to take long after she disappeared.

i know shes widowed but wouldn't she legally have to divorce before getting married again, so because the husbands dead she can just remarry??

yes, its not like they've gone missing, they're dead!

[Hannelene]

Did Carla divorce him?

Of course she can. If he's dead she's free to marry again.

Yes, the wedding oath says: "Till death do us part." After that you are free to marry again. You can't divorce a dead person.

[parkerman]

The grounds for divorce would be interesting though.

Perhaps Maria could get divorced on the grounds of desertion or maybe unreasonable behaviour, or, if she waits two years, on the grounds of a two year separation.....

[Hannelene]

When did Carla and Tony divorce as someone claimed earlier?

[lizann]

Could Rosie be anymore irritating and annoying - she gets worse and worse

Fiz needs a good slap over her tears for Stape get over him and concentrate on Chesney

[Hannelene]

I would happy to do that to Fiz how could she be so blind to Chesney's needs?
