Judge Richard Garcia of the Ingham County Circuit Court has ruled that Michigan must recognize the validity of a Nigerian marriage, over objections based on the fact that the woman had not been present during the ceremony.  According to the Michigan Lawyers Weekly, the court ruled that the ceremony was valid and binding in Nigeria, and that the validity of the marriage must be determined by reference to the law of the situs of the ceremony.  Quoth the judge: "The validity of a marriage is determined by the law where the marriage was celebrated."  (Scott-Emuakpor v. Scott-Emuakpor)

We all know where this is going, don't we?
