  • I believe so, though I must wonder if it is actually a mental illness and how bad it is. Also, I believe it is hard for someone to date someone with a mental illness this long and never know about it.
  • Check with your church
  • yes, the reasons for an annulment are: * Consanguinity * Insanity precluding ability to consent * Not intending, when marrying, to remain faithful to the spouse (simulation of consent) * One partner had been deceived by the other in order to obtain consent, and if the partner had been aware of the truth, would not have consented to marry * Abduction of a person, with the intent to compel them to marry (known as raptus), constitutes an impediment as long as they remain in the kidnapper's power. * Failure to adhere to requirements of canon law for marriages, such as clandestinity * the couple killed the spouse of one of them in order to be free to marry * the couple committed adultery, and one of the couple killed the spouse of one of them, in order to be free to marry you can state that he knew about his mental illness before the marriage and he never told you; however, you would need proof that he knew he was sick prior to marriage to successfully get an annulment.
  • How could you get to know someone enough to marry them but not know they have a mental illness?
  • The only way would be to prove that, One of the spouses did not have the mental capacity to enter into a marriage contract. By way of example, at the time of the ceremony a spouse may be incapacitated due to a mental disability, whether temporary or permanent in nature, or from intoxication.
  • Many people have mental illnesses of one kind or another. Couples should disclose things like this before marriage. However, it may or may not be insurmountable. Is there a positive prognosis with treatment?
  • Well, you must have loved him to marry him. Did your vows say in sickness and in health? Do you not love him any more because you found out he has a mental illness? Can he not take medication?
  • Anything short of adultery or abuse doesn't qualify as grounds for divorce to me... Sounds like you might have a trust issue at the moment. Talk it over with him, I'm sure he needs your support right now.
  • Probably depends upon the laws where you live, but in most countries it would be yes.
  • Why should you want to leave somebody you love just because they become ill.Marriage is a partnership and you must stick together through both sickness and health.
  • In New Hampshire you can divorce if you don't like the color of your spouse's shirt.
  • I want to say yeas and u can ask for alimony too
  • I don't know for sure, but your certainly should look into it if that is what you want.
  • In the future maybe you should get to know someone a little better before marrying them? IF this illness wasnt apparent before you got married it must not be a very serious condition. to use one's mental condition or illness for annulment grounds it must be considered insanity in a sense that the person was not fit to consent to marriage. Someone being a little kooky is not reason enough. I noticed some people also mentioned getting alimony and such...as far as I know, an annulment is retro-active, meaning it decrees the marriage never existed..one cannot sue for money, property etc.
  • no it's grounds for you being a piece of trash. A. how are you gonna marry someone and not know they have a mental illness. B. if it really is a mental illness and you married them... didnt you marry for love. better or worse. sickness and in health. till death do you part??? now your lookin for an annulment? YOU ARE whats wrong with women in todays society.
  • who says he has a mental illness, you?? maybe its u thats sick, did u ever think of that? i think if he had a severe mental illness u would have known about it-
  • In Nevada, it would be. If he doesn't agree to sign annulment documents, however, you would have to the Court some sort of proof to the effect that he was mentally ill BEFORE your marriage and that he hid the illness from you.
  • in sickness and in health........... women like you dont deserve to be allowed a marriage license. marriage is supposed to be forever. sounds to me like youve prob been a slut and cheated and are now looking for a way to degrade your husband even more and make him publically at fault for the failure of your shitty marriage. keep your pants on and respect the man you married
