A woman in Australia has annulled her marriage after realising that a fake wedding ceremony she took part in for a social media stunt was in fact real.
The unknowing bride said her partner was a social media influencer who convinced her to take part in the ceremony as a "prank" for his Instagram account.

She only discovered the marriage was genuine when he tried to use it to gain permanent residency in Australia.

It is crazy!  In a way, it is a "good" thing she realized early that it had been a real/legal marriage, otherwise she might have realized in 20 years, while married to someone else 😕

Bigamy is having one wife too many.  Monogamy is the same thing.

The odd bit about the article is that all the protagonists are nameless …and details as scarce as some VJ posts I come across.😂

 

Ex: A Woman , An Influencer /partner , A Melbourne judge..and reporter won’t even tell us what country bride and groom are from , although we know Bride had a pending immigration case. ..

Man Admits to Telling Woman He Drank Poison, Would Die Without Sex

 

A New Zealand man admitted in court Friday that he lied about being forced to drink a poison in order to coerce a woman into having sex.

 

New Zealand man admitted in court Friday that he lied about being forced to drink a poison in order to coerce a woman into having sex. The man's coercive behavior successfully convinced a woman that she had to have sexual intercourse with him, or he would die.

A 24-year-old man on the country's North Island pleaded guilty in Rotorua District Court Friday to a charge of sexual connection induced by threat as well as an assault charge, The New Zealand Herald reported. Police said the man concocted a tale in which he was beaten up and forced to drink poison; the only remedy to rid himself of the alleged deadly toxin was a "particular way" of sweating out the chemicals.

After successfully convincing the woman to have sex with him the first time, he allegedly put together an elaborate and threatening to scheme to continue coercing her.

Court documents obtained by The New Zealand Herald allege that the man went to the female acquaintance's home, "red-faced and bent over, holding his ribs," and informed her he'd been physically assaulted and forced to drink a vial of toxic chemicals. He also claimed the man who gave him the poison told him there was no antidote and that he'd already flown out of the country.

My sincere apologies…it seems there is a genre here and names are never used …

Oh I feel silly , especially as I recall all the juicy Enquirer stories I tried speed reading in the grocery lines throughout the years , featuring A Woman or A Florida Man 😂

A quote from one of my favourite articles of all times, which I could also see as a reply to some posts here on VJ. 

 

"The sergeant provides a little “advice” for those who receive a Facebook friend request from an unknown woman:

1. Go to the closest mirror.

2. Look at yourself.

3. Give yourself an honest review and realize that there is no reason in the world that an attractive lady from the Philippines wants to be your friend.

4. Return to the computer and delete the friend request.

5. Continue looking at lawnmowers, motorcycles and jacked up trucks that are for sale in your region of the country.

6. Realize that you just saved yourself from showing the world what no one really needs to see, and a whole lot of cash."
