According to the Liverpool Echo, the 27-year-old was arrested by Home Office Immigration Enforcement officers on Saturday morning, shortly before the ceremony was meant to take place at 10am. Following checks, it was revealed that the accused's visa had expired and was therefore living in the UK illegally.
He had been due to marry a 20-year-old British women. She was interviewed by officers, but later released, while the 'groom-to-be' has been detained pending his removal from the UK.
Assistant Director Karen McDonough, from the Home Office's North West Immigration Enforcement Team, is quoted by the paper as saying: "We are working closely with registrars to clamp down on sham weddings and civil partnerships. This operation is another example of the success that we are having.
"Where there are suspicions that a relationship may not be genuine we will investigate and, if necessary, intervene to stop it happening."
