Joe's defence in the case was so simple, it was beautiful: He claimed that they cannot get divorced because their marriage was already dissolved over three years ago... when Joe "died." • Apparently Joe claimed that after his heart stopped in 2004, this temporary death was enough to annul their marriage on the legal binding clause of "Till Death Do Us Part." If that wasn't enough, he cited two additional examples of his death, one more time in 2004 and once again in 2005.

  12. Divorce and religion NB: A lifelong commitment is made with marriage Catholic Church • Marriage is indissoluble as vows are made to God as well as their partner (SACREMENT). Breaking vows is therefore a sin. ‘What God has joined together, let man not separate’ Matthew 10:9 • If divorced they are encouraged not to take part in the Eucharist and a new relationship or remarriage is ADULTRY. (Against the 10 Commandments). • Support is given to people who have been through divorce, as it is recognised as a painful experience. • Separation is acceptable, but people need to work on regaining their marriage. • Annulment is acceptable. This is where the marriage is dissolved as it has never been. A reason for an annulment is if a person has been forced into marriage. Annulment allows a person to remarry without consequences. Church of England • Believe a couple should aim to keep their marriage together. • If divorce, the couple should be looked after. • If a person wishes to remarry in a church it is up to the vicar. It will depend upon the reasons for divorce etc. ‘Marriage after a divorce is an exceptional act; that it must be approached with great honesty;’ Marriage –Church of England
