Man barred from marrying by court says he wants to be with his 'bride'

An intellectually disabled man whose legal marriage remains prohibited by court order due to a charity's concerns about his capacity to marry has said he wants to be with his intended bride, the High Court has heard.

The man said he did not want "to be alone" and, when he is with the woman, "I feel good inside me", and "I know what I want", naming the woman, solicitor Marie Claire Butler said.
