Imagine you're about to get married to the love of your life and suddenly you receive terrible news: You are already married!
A 39-year-old man from Salerno, Italy, discovered he was a bigamist on the day he was getting married for the second time. How is that even possible?
According to the newspaper Salerno Today, everything happened at the civil registry, where the Italian went to marry the bride. When the curator told him what he had discovered, the man couldn't believe it. Well, it’s an expected reaction when you just don’t remember having signed a paper pledging allegiance to someone for the rest of her life (and yours).
That’s certainly a memorable episode. The man just found out he had been married for eight years to a young woman he had never met.
The Italian tried to annul the marriage certificate, which he claims to be false, but since eight years have passed, he cannot do so.
Authorities are now investigating the case to clarify what happened. While this is not happening, the man cannot divorce and marry the current bride.
What would you do if you were in his shoes?
