Woman 'not told' divorce would end marriage

A British woman has tried to sue her former lawyers for failing to explain to her that getting a divorce would end her marriage.

Jane Mulcahy argued that her lawyers did not make it clear to her that a divorce would terminate her marriage – something her religion forbids.

Ms Mulcahy, a devout Catholic, claims that lawyers should have taken her faith into account and recommended a judicial separation – a step down from full divorce.

The bizarre case has already been rejected by two UK courts but Ms Mulcahy has launched an appeal.
