Couple deny proposed marriage is sham
A Latvian woman and her Pakistani fiancée have secured leave to bring a High Court challenge against the Limerick County Registrar's refusal to allow their marriage, following a Garda objection.
The couple, Ina Aksjonova (aged 23) and Shahid Mahmood (aged 25), Georgian Villa, Clare Street, Limerick were due to be married last July. However they were "shocked and devastated" after being informed the day before their wedding that the ceremony could not go ahead because the Gardaí lodged an objection to their marriage.
