Explaining Zellweger’s “Fraud” Claim – Sep 16, 2005 – E! Online News — File this one under peculiar celebrity news. Wedding anulled for fraud? There is more to this story than we’ll ever know. Nutty.
Under California law, a fraudulent marriage means, in part, “the consent of either party was obtained by fraud.” In layman’s terms, Rabenn explained a hypothetical case this way: A newlywed couple checks into a honeymoon suite; the husband pulls out a document declaring that he’s impotent; the wife, previously unaware of this situation, checks out–and calls her lawyer.
To Rabenn, the big question in the Zellweger filing is “Why?”–as in: “Why did someone bother raising the fraud allegation?”
In a joint statement released to Entertainment Tonight, Zellweger and Chesney said “the miscommunication of this objective of their marriage at the start of is the only reason for this annulment.”
