    If you had sex, you can't get an annulment unless he will back you up and say it didn't happen. But just being unhappy is not ground for divorce. You will have to come up with another reason, even irreconcilable differences. Your first step is hiring a laywer

    You're screwed, marriage is a life ruiner. Hope you get out of it. YOU ARE 17! You have a full life ahead of you and one of your first actions as an adult is to get married? Seriously though, good luck.

    Look, why did you rush to get married so young? Personally, unless you are being abused, try to seek couples counseling. Maybe things will work out.

    If not, get a lawyer and file for a divorce. You can get a divorce for just about anything these days.

    In what state were you married? Did you get a parent, or guardian's, permission to marry if you are underage in the state where you married?

    If you got married in Nevada (or you are a Nevada resident), you could get the marriage annulled within one year after reaching the age of 18 if you did not have proper consent (and you don't live with your husband). See the Nevada statute below.

    NRS 125.320 Cause for annulment: Lack of consent of parent or guardian.

    1. When the consent of the father, mother, guardian or district court, as required by NRS 122.020 or 122.025, has not been obtained, the marriage is void from the time its nullity is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction.

    2. If the consent required by NRS 122.020 or 122.025 is not first obtained, the marriage contracted without the consent of the father, mother, guardian or district court may be annulled upon application by or on behalf of the person who fails to obtain such consent, unless such person after reaching the age of 18 years freely cohabits for any time with the other party to the marriage as husband and wife. Any such annulment proceedings must be brought within 1 year after such person reaches the age of 18 years.

    If the marriage has been consummated, then you won't likely have grounds for an annulment. You are suffering from incredibly poor judgement and incredibly poor decision making. Hopefully you'll place the blame on yourself, where it belongs, and learn a valuable lesson about the consequences of your actions. Filing for divorce will be easy, although potentially expensive. You need an attorney. Get one as soon as possible. You might want to also consider a life-coach or similar counsellor in your life for future decisions. You really seem to need it. Best of luck. Hang in there.

    I think for an annulment, it has to take place within a couple days of the actual marriage.

    It's unfortunate that you're going through this, but I have to wonder how you thought you were in love with this guy enough to marry him, and then shortly after, you decide you don't love him. You don't just fall out of love one day. I would re-examine what you believe love is. If you don't understand it, this could become a perpetual pattern in your life, and could very well compromise your happiness.

    Having said that, divorce is a horrible thing. Look at your situation. If there's even an ounce of possibility that you can regain the love you once thought you had, forgo the divorce and make it work. By getting married you took a big girl pill and became an adult earlier than the rest of the world. As such, you should act like an adult and do what is necessary to make things work.

    I'm sounding very mean and harsh, and that's not my intention. I'm just trying to help you understand the ramifications of the decision you've made.

    I doubt it, how did you get married at age 17? Doesn't that take parental consent?

    deffinately not.thats the decision you made and you have to live with it.you might want to get some legal advise because don't quote me but i think within a certain period of time you might be able to get it anuledyour too young to be getting married at 17 years of age.you have your whole life ahead of you,why would you want to tie yourself down with mariage and possibly children.maybe because the sex was good and you got overwelmed with it and said yes.that thirty minute thrill wasn't worth turning your life into a turmoil at such a young age.trust me seek some legal advise.
