Description
GOODWYN, Justice. This is an appeal from a final decree of the circuit court of Baldwin County, in equity, establishing a
resulting trust in favor of appellee to an undivided one-half interest in certain real property and ordering a sale of the
property for division. Appellant (as husband) and appellee (as wife) entered into a purported marriage ceremony in 1941 and lived together thereafter
as man and wife until their separation in 1953. The real property here involved was acquired while they were so living together.
In 1954 appellee filed a suit for divorce against appellant on the ground of cruelty and also sought by the bill to have a
resulting trust to the real property decreed in her favor. During the taking of the testimony it was established that appellee,
at the time of her purported marriage to appellant in 1941, had a living undivorced husband who was still living. This evidence
was given in support of appellant's cross-bill seeking an annulment of his purported marriage with appellee.
