Scacchi and D'Onofrio had a common-law marriage, which is recognized as legal. The marriage references should be added back to the article.

Hi there. Scacchi has publically denied ever being legally married in numerous interviews. It's been alluded to that Scacchi and D'Onofrio had some type of "commitment ceremony" in Australia, but not sure if that would constitute "common-law marriage" or if such a scenario is legal outside of Oz. And is Scacchi's current relationship (in Great Britain) with cousin Carlo Mantegazza common-law? If you can provide any valid citations that can be used to support legal marriage claims, we'll add it back in. Thanks! TrishGow 18:28, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Her denials of a "legal marriage" are futile since they had a common-law marriage, not simply a "commitment ceremony". Common-law marriages are recognizable and legally valid in Australia. As for Scacchi's current relationship, it would depend on whether or not they had a common-law ceremony like was done with D'Onofrio. I recall from memory reading Australian articles about Scacchi and D'Onofrio both speaking of the common-law marriage. I will see about getting you copies of the articles.
