But why? Why marry unless you're marrying up or out?

It depends where you are habitually resident. If you are American and marry in France but live in the UK for 5 years or so then the divorce would most likely be handled in the UK. Even though you are a USA cizitzen. Often divorcing couples try to file papers in a particular country first, before the other person has started proceedings. But this can be changed to the country of domicile. It depends if the other country plays ball. In the UK we have lots of Russian who live here and the men file for divorce in Russia. Then the UK courts do not recognise a Russian law court with regards to divorce. It is a mess.

Personally I really would not get married at all. For a man it is a really dumb thing to do in the present climate.
