If you were married in England or Wales outside the provisions of the Marriage Act 1949 (ie you did not give legal notice to the superintendent registrar before the marriage), your marriage will not be recognised under English Law, in which case the marriage is ignored and you should revert to your marriage status prior to this irregular marriage. However, if you believe that the irregular marriage is valid under English law, you should seek legal advice before deciding to be married again to each other under the auspices of the Marriage Act 1949 as it may have an effect on legitimacy and inheritance issues.
