* One memorable ''ComicBook/AstroCity'' story involves a man who is haunted by dreams of a woman he can't remember ever meeting, but whom he somehow knows intimately. At his wit's end, he finally gets an audience with the supernatural Hanged Man, who informs him that the woman was his wife in a previous continuity. Thanks to a time-travelling supervillain, history was changed just enough that her parents never met and she was never born, and thus she never met him, let alone married him.

* In ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero'', when a [[{{Mon}} familiar]] is assigned to a wizard (usually an animal), they sealed their bond with a kiss. In the case of Louise de la Valiere, she sealed the bond with the recently summoned [[UnluckyEverydude Saito Hiraga]] with a kiss in his lips, being considered later as a "magical marriage" for both characters as they became in the OfficialCouple with the time. But this was broken when a late LoveInterest for him, the [[HalfHumanHybrid half-elf]] Tiffania Westwood, adopted him as her familiar by kissing him and making a new bond, leaving Louise's seal unmade.

Added DiffLines:

In RealLife, most marriages end in death, divorce, or rarely annulment. However, in this case supernatural forces are at play to ensure that the marriage is truly over. Common examples include this being performed via a CosmicRetcon erasing the marriage altogether, or an otherworldly entity intervening to annul the marriage, thus signifying that the marriage is terminated in the eyes of cosmic forces. Or sometimes it's just something as simple as LaserGuidedAmnesia. \\
This trope is especially common when the couple first wed through supernatural means, so it stands to reason that supernatural means would be required to sever their bond.

* ''Franchise/TheWitcher'': Geralt and Yennefer once found a genie and Geralt wished that he and Yennefer would "be together forever". The two went on to be practically married in all but name, even raising an adoptive daughter together. However, circumstances later splits them apart and bout of amnesia causes Geralt to form sexual relationships with [[ReallyGetsAround many, MANY]] other women. When he and Yennefer reunite, she is ''very'' distant and bitter--not only because one of the women he slept with was her best friend, but because she has started to believe that the only reason the two of them still love each other is because of the genie's magic. In ''Videogame/Witcher3WildHunt'', she and Geralt can manage to find another genie, whereupon she wishes that the original wish be undone. The player can then decide whether or not to tell her that Geralt still loves her or that [[GoneHorriblyRight she's right: his feelings are gone, but hers are not]].
