Weeks, 75, says Nova Scotia’s Vital Statistics division sent him a letter indicating it would not register his marriage to Melissa Ann Weeks, 77, because false information that had been provided on the marriage document.
Weeks made the comments after being released from hospital in Sydney, N.S.

She was charged on Oct. 2 with attempted murder and administering the drug.
She is due in Sydney provincial court next week for a bail hearing.
None of the charges has been proven in court.
