LONDON - In what is thought to be the first case of its kind in England, a Catholic teacher has been forced to quit her job because she married a divorced man.
The decision by the deputy head teacher, Ms Bernadette Nott (36), to marry twice divorced Mr Malcolm Hornby made her position "untenable" in the eyes of the governors of St Augustine's Primary School, in Stamford, Lincolnshire, where she had worked for seven years.
Ms Nott said: "My only sin was falling in love and marrying. That seems to be a sin that cannot be forgiven."
