Bride has three husbands - and she never knew

US: A 37-year-old woman made a shocking discovery when her marriage licence application was rejected as she was 'already married'.

She got a rude awakening just three weeks before she was supposed to get married, reveals The Sun. She was apparently married to two men from Ecuador and Mexico.

The woman had lost her birth certificate in the 1990s and it may have been picked up and subsequently misused by people involved in marriage scams.

The woman got her earlier two marriages annulled only to be delivered another blow. She was also married to a third man.

However, the woman did manage to get married for real in time.
