Bunyard v. Bunyard

Robert relies primarily on this Court's decision in Weeks v. Weeks, 654 So.2d 33 (Miss. 1995). In that case, the Court upheld
a chancellor's decision not to award separate maintenance where the marriage itself was void (the wife had married her mother's
brother). On appeal, the wife argued that equitable estoppel should prevent the husband from relying on the illegality of
the nine year marriage.
