November 27, 1971 – a police corporal attached to the Linstead Police Station in St. Catherine, flees from a church in St. Ann’s Bay, when his common-law-wife interrupts his wedding. He was about to be married to a clerk from the district of Bamboo. The common-law-wife claims that she is the mother of his two children, and also produces an engagement ring and wedding dress as proof that she too was to be married to the policeman.

Hurling threats, she swears that the ceremony will proceed no further than “if anyone knows why those two cannot be joined together in matrimony.”

After the groom leaves the scene, the father of the bride-to-be escorts his daughter from the church.
