Yep, he's wrong, and married.
There are only a few countries where it wouldn't be recognised here, usually non-christian countries.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0 -
it counts hun . dont they have a civil ceremony to take care of the legalities then have the church one?
does the silly sod think a civil ceremony doesnt count? so all those honeymoon marraiges abroad? hmmm they are legal ceremonies in the eyes of the law here!0 -
Don't forget - getting divorce in Italy is not easy either!
First, the parties have to obtain a separation decree. This is mandatory. Separation can be consensual or judicially imposed. In general, consensual-separation divorce proceed fairly quickly; judicial procedures, on the other hand, are more time‑consuming and depend upon the individual circumstances.
After at least a three‑year separation, one of the parties may file for divorce. They do not have to file for this, but obviously it’s the only way they can get remarried. There is no time limit on getting a divorce.
A joint divorce, where both parties agree, follows a quick hearing. The judge makes a decision, which is finalized approximately one month after the decision, but this time period varies. There are no guarantees on the length of time necessary for any of these processes. An estimate of cost, including attorneys, would be between 2 and 3 million lire.
The judicial divorce takes longer, depending upon the how many and what kind of questions need to be resolved by the court. No cost estimate is available for this, since it depends on the questions and issues involved.

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0 -
Well at least it's a semi original variation on 'my wife doesn't understand me'
