Question
In the case of a divorced groom’s marriage, is it necessary to mention the first marriage in the marriage certificate during the second marriage? The bride is unmarried and agrees to the marriage, but if her mother knows about the first marriage, she will not agree to the marriage as they want to keep the first marriage a secret. My question is, how reasonable is it to keep the first marriage a secret? Will the bride face any problems related to this in the future?
Answer
It is not “necessarily significant” to mention whether the groom is divorced in the marriage certificate. And being divorced does not create any legal ineligibility for marriage. Therefore, there is no legal problem with keeping the matter of divorce private. However, from a social perspective, you can make your own decision.
