Mark Hosenball, the American journalist who is fighting a Home Office order that he be deported from Britain because of articles considered prejudicial to British Security, hugs his bride, Carole O’Donoghue, also a journalist, after their marriage at Caxton Hall registry office on Friday.

Mr Hosenball is a reporter on the London “Evening Standard,” and has been fighting a long court battle with the Home Office. Miss O’Donoghue began her journalistic career eight years ago in the London office of “The Press.” Mr Hosenbali’s marriage

will not give him automatic right to remain in Britain. Although a new provision in Britain’s immigration rules allows foreigners who marry British women to stay in the country, initially on a temporary basis, this is considered unlikely in Mr Hosenbali’s case.
