In a baffling turn of events in the UK, Francisca Boateng, a Ghanaian tourist, secured the right to live in Britain despite never attending her own marriage ceremony.
This "proxy" marriage granted her residency through her once-German husband, even after the marriage ended. Judge Joseph Neville recognized the legal aspect of the proxy wedding under Ghanaian law, despite blurred wedding evidence and raised eyebrows.
Such cases have fueled debates over UK immigration laws, with critics demanding a more "common sense" approach.
