7. A divorce decreed by a competent Christian tribunal between persons domiciled in the country where it is obtained is regarded as valid in England, if valid according to the law of that country.[230] But if a person domiciled in England obtains a divorce in another country to which he has gone for the purpose, that divorce will not be recognised as legal here.[231] If persons obtain a dissolution of marriage by a judicial decree in England, the Divorce Act, 1857, authorises them to marry again after the time for appealing against the decree has expired, or after the marriage has, on appeal, been declared to be dissolved, in like manner as if the marriage had been dissolved by death. A person divorced in England has, therefore, a legal right to require his or her banns to be published and marriage to be solemnised in church in like manner as if he or she were a widower or widow, with the exception that no clergyman is by law bound to marry a person whose marriage has been dissolved on account of the person's own adultery; but in case of his refusal to do so he must permit any other clergyman willing to perform the ceremony to use his church for the purpose.[232] In the banns in such cases the person has to be described, if at all (see § 10), as "unmarried." In the case of a person whose divorce elsewhere than in England is valid according to English law, it would seem that although he or she can legally remarry in England, yet a clergyman is under no legal obligation to publish the banns or perform the ceremony or permit it to be performed in his church. The practice as to granting marriage licences in the case of divorced persons varies in different dioceses.[233]
