This relates to citizen of the Bahamas getting married to someone who is outside the Bahamas who is not a citizen of the Bahamas. Also where the marriage takes place in another country and not in the Bahamas.
Please remember that they did not get married on dry land. I think it might come into play at some point....like claiming the boat for himself and the 10 carat rock if nothing else....the video of their ceremony saidL "I love boats", "look at the rock", "hear these words", "look at our baby". Boy, Anna thought Howard was sooooo clever and went along with everything. She was right!!! He was clever.
