Hi

Can anyone tell my what happens when a marriage is bigamous, this marriage happened in 1899 and I can trace what happened to the man John after he married Mary Ann, he was sent to prison because he was already married but what happens to Mary Ann dose she keep the married name or dose she have to returned to her own maiden name

Thank you

Under English law you can legally call yourself by any name (unless trying to commit fraud), So is she wished she could keep her "married name".

Thank you i think she may have kept the married name but wasn't sure if she would have been allowed to do this
