Woman sparks debate after 'marrying herself' - then wanting divorce 24 hours later

A woman who claimed to have married herself has said she's exploring the idea of getting a divorce - after just 24 hours in her own company.

Sofi Maure, 25, announced on social media back in February that she had "married herself" as she posed for photos while wearing a white wedding dress and a gold tiara.

The social media influencer - who has 500,000 followers across Instagram and Twitter - posted the photos alongside a caption which claimed she had tied the knot to herself, and even said she had cooked her own wedding cake for the special occasion.

She wrote at the time: "Today, in the most spurious moments of my life, I bought a wedding dress and cooked a wedding cake to marry myself."

And her initial post sparked debate between commenters - many of which were posted in Sofi's native language, Spanish. While some were supportive of the woman for showing the importance of self-love, others said she was only posting about her "marriage" for "attention".

One person said: "It could easily be me, congratulations on the beautiful marriage."

While another wrote: "It is the best marriage, believe me, with another person it would last less and it would be more conflictive. CONGRATULATIONS."

But a third disagreed, stating: "Everything for a tweet and attention."

Despite most commenters being supportive of Sofi's alleged marriage decision, it seemed the love she had for herself wasn't meant to last. Just one day later, on February 20, she returned to social media to declare that divorce was imminent.

She said: "Update: one day I'm married to myself and I can't take it anymore, I'm seeing how the divorce issue is just in case."

And on her second post, her followers were quick to make lighthearted jokes about the situation, as they told her to "get a good lawyer" for the divorce hearing.

One said: "There is an express divorce in the first 3 months of marriage, so don't worry."

As someone else commented: "Get a good lawyer."
