Sec. 410.391  Legal impediment.

    For purposes of this subpart C, legal impediment means an impediment 
resulting from the lack of dissolution of a previous marriage or 
otherwise arising out of such previous marriage or its dissolution, or 
resulting from a defect in the procedure followed in connection with the 
purported marriage ceremony--for example, the solemnization of a 
marriage only through a religious ceremony in a country which requires a 
civil ceremony for a valid marriage.
