Tradition should make way for love in Tongan annulment dispute
An Auckland lawyer argues love should override tradition after the King of Tonga annulled the secret marriage of Princess Siuilikutapu to commoner Siosiua Liavya. Liavya, a commerce student, plans to seek the princess’s father Prince Tuipelehake, Tonga’s prime minister, to discuss the issue, but Tongan custom blocks direct contact. The couple wed secretly in Auckland in October. Liavya fears arrest if the arrangement is not officially reconciled.
