What is an Annulment?
Understanding Annulment
Annulment is a legal procedure that declares a marriage null and void, essentially erasing it as though it never legally existed. This differs from divorce, which officially ends a valid marriage.
Legal Definition
In precise legal terms, an annulment makes a voidable marriage null. If a marriage is void ab initio (from the beginning), it is automatically considered null, but a legal declaration is still necessary to formalize this status. The process for obtaining this declaration is similar to that of annulment.
Grounds for Annulment
The grounds for annulling a marriage can differ by jurisdiction but commonly include:
- Pre-existing Marriage: One spouse was already married to someone else.
- Age Restrictions: One or both spouses were too young to marry without necessary consent.
- Incapacity: One spouse was under the influence of substances or mentally incompetent at the time of marriage.
- Fraud or Force: Consent was obtained through deception or coercion.
- Physical Incapacity: Inability to consummate the marriage due to persistent issues.
- Prohibited Relationships: The marriage violates legal prohibitions due to the relationship between the parties.
- Infidelity: One or both partners were unfaithful.
Understanding these grounds can be crucial if you or someone you know is considering an annulment. Keep this information accessible should you need it in the future.
