Three Wives Create Trouble

"I just wanted to make sure he was okay."

I'm sure that's exactly what went through the minds of Jean Grafton, Denise Harrington, and Lyndsey Hutchinson when they visited their husband after his triple bypass surgery. However, none of them knew they were married to the same man until they visited the hospital at the same time. Bringing the situation to light, Melvyn Reed confessed to bigamy, complete with four months in prison and a 70 pound fine.

A London native, Reed married Grafton in 1966, Harrington in 1998, and Hutchinson in 2003 without getting divorced from his previous wife/wives. Seeking annulments, Harrington and Hutchinson have been advised by lawyers that their marriages were never valid.
