Namely, the media reports that the case cannot legally be conducted in Austria, because the marriages were concluded in Germany and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and thus Austria is not competent for this case.
Given that the first marriage was concluded in Germany, and the second in BiH, Austria is simply not competent in this case.
As previously announced, the BiH citizen remarried before finalizing the divorce. His wife from Filah reported him for bigamy.
Case background
The two, both from Bosnia and Herzegovina, lived in Filah for more than 20 years. Until recently, they seemed like a happy married couple. But, during his stay in the homeland, the husband fell in love and immediately got married.” His wife was shocked when he filed for divorce.
“I am stunned. My husband got married in Bosnia and Herzegovina four days before the divorce date in Filah. I reported him for bigamy, but the Prosecutor’s Office in Klagenfurt informed me that the proceedings have been suspended. There are no proceedings for bigamy,” she said in shock.
Explanation of the prosecution
Markus Kitz, spokesman for the Klagenfurt Prosecutor’s Office, said that bigamy is certainly a criminal offense.
“But in this case we are not competent. The couple is from Bosnia and Herzegovina, they originally got married in Germany, and now the husband got married in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Therefore, the place of execution is Bosnia and Herzegovina, not Austria. The application is possible in Bosnia and Herzegovina or Germany.”
By the way, it is interesting that both ex-spouses still live in Filah, but at different addresses.
