The first divorce

Published: October 26, 2011 at 9:33am

Giannella Caruana Curran, seen here with defrocked priest Charles Pulis, beat JPO to the first divorce under Maltese legislation

So it turns out that the first divorce under Maltese law was not Mad Jaff’s and Marlene’s, after all. So much for all his posturing and telling us how much he can’t wait to divorce her.

It was Joe and Giannella Caruana Curran’s. She beat him to it.

Perhaps Jaff is still wrestling with Marlene’s Catholic sentiments and desire to emulate the Madonna.

Oh, this country.

    Why did you feel the need to say who were the first persons to be granted divorce?

    [Daphne – I feel the NEED to say nothing. It is merely interesting information. If they were private persons, it wouldn’t be, and so I wouldn’t have bothered.]

  2. Richard Borg says:

    Yes, very interesting information.

  3. Derek fenech says:

    I find your village gossiping quite comical

    • Grezz says:

      Comical are such comments by a person who has probably been affected by the kind of people normally defended in court by the lawyer in question.

    • ciccio2011 says:

      Why village gossiping, Derek? In other countries, when important persons get divorced, it is splashed in the media.

  4. Tony says:

    Well, a big thank you for letting us know who these prominent people are. I don’t normally give a hoot about who gets divorced or not but this time I was curious, thanks to The Times which let us know it happened without telling us who the public figures in question are.

    They exercised their legal right and it is nothing to be ashamed of. It was pointless releasing the news without the names.

  5. BuBu says:

    So now I gather she’s Giannella DeMarco and not Giannella Caruana Curran any more?

    • Carmen Spiteri says:

      One more divorce to go and she’ll be Giannella Hyzler. But maybe that other divorce is a bit more difficult.

      • Polion says:

        Carmen, are you the legal representative for any one of the parties? If the answer is no then your comment is stupid.

  6. jack says:

    The lawyers for the two parties – Joe’s lawyer Josette Grech and Giannella’s lawyer, her sister Fiorella – both work for De Marco & Associates.

      Is this news? I am sure that these two lovely persons divorced by consensus…… not like Jeffrey I am the bully man.

    O j alla xi dwejjaq ta mara fik ax ma titlobx l alla jihdok

    • Carmen Spiteri says:

      While you’re waiting and praying for that result, Finney, put your time to good use and take some spelling lessons.

    • Grezz says:

      Jekk temmen f’Alla, Finney, ma tantx ghandek sentimenti nisranin wisq.

    • Vicki says:

      Shame on you Finney wishing such a terrible thing. If you don’t like Daphne’s blog, then just don’t read it. No one is obliging you to do so.

  8. Bob says:

    This is importat as they are both VIPs

    • Grezz says:

      Not quite. He may be in the public eye for one reason; she, being a lawyer is not a VIP. Self-important maybe, but a VIP?

  9. ciccio2011 says:

    What, they did not have the money to get one overseas?

    [Daphne – It has nothing to do with money, but with being resident or having citizenship.]

  10. sally says:

    Nothing to be ashamed of it was nice seeing that divorce is being implicated here in Malta.

    [Daphne – Implicated?]

  11. Paul Bonnici says:

    It is their right to divorce and they have nothing to be ashamed of.

    I hope they voted and spoke in favour of divorce prior to the referendum otherwise that would be hypercritical.

    I wish them best of luck.

  12. Finney says:

    Kellek bzonn ghandek il valuri sodi li ghandi jien fuq kollox b alla nemmen daqshekk imma b alla ta veru u mux tal karta pesta sahbi. House of horror madam

  13. Spiru says:

    He whose name sounds like a cocktail mixer or a soft drink – you’ve already been warned – please work on your spelling.
