Would an overseas marriage get you a residency? I'm aware of the 'need' for the girl to be kosher and the avidity of the village for a big piss-up. I made it quite clear that it is their problem and that I would not be coerced into doing ... Read More

Thanks for your replies. I'm aware that a piss-up counts as a wedding for the locals, if not for the government. That's why I want to find out whether an o/s marriage is legally binding here as well. Read More
