A family court has annulled a woman’s marriage to a foreigner whom she had never seen before and whom she wed under the influence of drugs.
The couple got married in a civil ceremony at the Marriage Registry nearly two decades ago, in November 2002, at a time when the woman was passing through a bad patch in her life dealing with a severe drug addiction, the court heard.
The marriage had been proposed and organised by her friend and the first time she met her husband-to-be was at the registry in Valletta.
On that day, she was heavily under the influence of drugs.
