How does an Annulment Differ from a Divorce and
what are Its Grounds
Ending a marriage is a huge decision and it can affect several aspects of a
couple’s lives, but at times it is a decision that has to be done.
There are two ways couples can legally end a marriage, either with an
annulment
or a divorce.
A divorce, or otherwise called a legal termination of a marriage, basically ends
or cancels a valid marriage between a couple and returns them to their single
status.
Annulment
turns a marriage null and void by proving to the court that
a woman and a man were
never united in marriage
as husband and wife.
Possible Grounds for Annulment
The husband or the wife can file for annulment if they find that their spouse
has been practicing bigamy.
When either individual was actually not in the right state of mind during
marriage and was completely unaware or did not know what was going on
during the wedding.
“● Shotgun weddings” or hurried and forced weddings that are usually pushed
onto the couple because of an unplanned pregnancy can be annulled.
For Catholics, marriages that lack a “canonical form” can be rendered invalid
and a candidate for annulment.
To know more about annulment or even divorce and separation, one can
consult the Richmond family law experts at Cohen Buchan Edwards LLP.
