In brief
A woman in Australia had her marriage annulled after discovering a social media stunt was, surprisingly, legit!
In a twist that sounds straight out of a movie, a woman in Australia thought she was participating in a fake wedding for her influencer partner’s Instagram, only to find out it was real! This shocking story kicked off when the couple met through an online dating app. Fast forward to a “white party” in Sydney, where the woman was led to believe it was all for fun. After exchanging vows and sharing a kiss—all for the camera—she felt it was just a playful moment. However, everything took a turn when her partner revealed he needed her help to apply for permanent residency in Australia. That’s when she found out their wedding was legally binding. The woman later discovered an official marriage certificate and a notice had been filed, with a signature that looked nothing like hers! Furious and feeling betrayed, she sought an annulment. A judge agreed, confirming she didn't fully consent to the marriage, viewing it as a prank instead. This unprecedented case was officially annulled in October 2024, leaving everyone questioning: how far can influencers go for a like?
