1963 Listener 17 Jan. 122/1 There is probably no more embarrassing experience for a couple than to find that they are regarded as validly married in one country, but living in sin in another. Even worse, perhaps, is the position of a man regarded by one country's laws as divorced and therefore single, but by another country as married and liable to be convicted for bigamy if he remarries. This situation, vividly called ‘the limping marriage’, is deplored by most systems of law including our own.

1963 Listener 17 Jan. 123/2 It goes some way towards mitigating the evil of the ‘limping marriage’.

1970 Internat. & Compar. Law Q. 19 i. 12 It was scarcely in the child's interests to make her a ‘limping infant’ by pronouncing an order which would be refused recognition in a country with which she had significant links.

1970 Internat. & Compar. Law Q. 19 i. 17 There was the particular danger..that the adoption order would not be recognised in some countries, producing a ‘limping’ adoption.
