What is potentially polygamous

Post by DublinGirl » Fri Nov 21, 2014 5:22 pm

Please explain and anyone got information. Thanks
20.3 Irish law does not recognise polygamous marriage and indeed a
potentially polygamous marriage is not without difficulty. Therefore, an
application for spousal family reunification involving a sponsor who is
married polygamously (under the laws of another state, albeit that the
union is not recognised in Ireland) will be rejected.
Where a sponsor is married to one person only but the marriage is potentially polygamous
given the capacity to contract a subsequent marriage, the spousal
application may be permitted but subject to the proviso that no
subsequent marriage contracted while the first union is subsisting will
have any recognition for immigration purposes even in the event of the
sponsor subsequently obtaining a divorce from the earlier spouse.
