Bigamist caught out in Facebook faux pas

She had been married for less than a month when a shock discovery - that her husband already had a wife - brought their honeymoon phase to an abrupt end.
There on Facebook was photographic proof: wedding pictures of her husband with his other bride. The case came before the Family Court as the second wife, known by the pseudonym Ms Hiu, sought an annulment of her marriage.
She and her husband, known as Mr Ling, married in a civil ceremony in Melbourne in February. But a friend who visited them in March let slip that Mr Ling had married a former girlfriend only weeks before.
Mr Ling, 27, had gone overseas on Boxing Day last year. ''He had told me he went to China to visit his family,'' Ms Hiu told the court. When she told Mr Ling's mother she had married him in February, she ''was shocked to hear about our wedding and did not know anything about it''.
Ms Hiu confronted her husband, who confessed that during the trip he had married his former girlfriend in Hong Kong.
The marriage was arranged by their parents, he said, and he felt pressured to follow their wishes.
Ms Hiu found photos of the first wedding on Facebook. In a recent judgment in Melbourne, Justice Nahum Mushin granted Ms Hiu a decree of nullity, finding Mr Ling's marriage in Hong Kong was recognised in Australia. He also considered whether to refer the case to prosecutors. Under the Marriage Act, bigamy attracts up to five years in jail.
Lawyers for Mr Ling and Ms Hiu argued against a referral, saying the cultural embarrassment and shame would create considerable family tension.
But Justice Mushin said:
''Not only am I entitled to refer the papers in this matter to the appropriate authorities for consideration of whether to prosecute [Mr Ling] for bigamy but I have a duty to do so.''

How did you find out so much about me?  

What was he thinking? Goes on holiday and marries his ex because of family pressure, do people still do that?

You used to hear these sorts of stories all the time - guys who work as travelling salesmen who have two or three families across the country. The effort these guys put into maintaining the lies was amazing. Good luck to them, I say. Sounds like more trouble than it's worth!

Of course, technology is making this more and more difficult. With everyone having a Facebook page and with half our lives online, it must be getting harder to get away with it.

He must be really stupid to try to pull off this stunt! If he succeeded he would be living like an "astronaut" flying back and forth between HK and Melbourne all year round. It would have cost him a fortune just for the airfares, let alone the two family budgets!
