High Court upholds US court decision to annul couple's marriage due to stress of covid restrictions

The young couple tied the knot in Ireland and separated within the space of a few months during the pandemic

Shortly after the marriage in 2020 Mr Justice John Jordan said there was 'a complete and irreversible breakdown in the relationship'.

A young couple who tied the knot in Ireland and separated within the space of a few months during the covid-19 pandemic have had their marriage annulment in the US upheld by the High Court here.

Mr Justice John Jordan upheld a decision by a court in the US which annulled the couple's Irish marriage because they had not entered into it with the requisite mental capacity due to the stress of the covid-19 pandemic restrictions.
