My friend wants to get married, but she’s already registered with someone else. They never actually lived together, and she kept her old name on all her papers. Now she wants to marry someone new, but she doesn’t want to disclose her first marriage. If she applies for a marriage certificate using her existing documents, is there a chance her previous marriage will be discovered?

Yes, there is a chance her previous marriage could be discovered. Even if she hasn’t lived with her previous spouse, the marriage registration is a public record. During the marriage registration process, authorities might cross-check the details provided with existing records, potentially uncovering the earlier marriage.
