  • That depends entirely upon the state you live in, the state you were married in, and the grounds for annulment. If you give those details, someone can give you a more accurate answer. It IS possible, but only under certain circumstances that depend upon the above.
  • Re Church law, theoretically yes. ANulment can take place if the marriage was unconsummated and/or if it can be proven that there was a serious impediment to the success of the marriage that was unconfessed at the time of marriage (eg impotence, prior marriage, mental instability) For civil anulments, the laws would differ from area to area, so you would have to check with local authorities eg Florida Law says this: Re: Florida Law for Marriage Anulment = VA marr Posted by sharwinston on 12/13/02 Go to this link for more info: http://www.divorceinfo.com/vafaqsmiscellaneous.htm How does annulment work? Va. Code §20-89.1. Suit to annul marriage. a) When a marriage is alleged to be void or voidable for any of the causes mentioned in §§§§ 20-13, 20-38.1, 20-45.1 or by virtue of fraud or duress, either party may institute a suit for annulling the same; and upon proof of the nullity of the marriage, it shall be decreed void by a decree of annulment. (b) In the case of natural or incurable impotency of body existing at the time of entering into the marriage contract, or when, prior to the marriage, either party, without the knowledge of the other, had been convicted of a felony, or when, at the time of the marriage, the wife, without the knowledge of the husband, was with child by some person other than the husband, or where the husband, without knowledge of the wife, had fathered a child born to a woman other than the wife within ten months after the date of the solemnization of the marriage, or where, prior to the marriage, either party had been, without the knowledge of the other, a prostitute, a decree of annulment may be entered upon proof, on complaint of the party aggrieved. (c) No annulment for a marriage alleged to be void or voidable under subsection (b) of §§ 20-45.1, subsection (b) of this section or by virtue of fraud or duress shall be decreed if it appears that the party applying for such annulment has cohabited with the other after knowledge of the facts giving rise to what otherwise would have been grounds for annulment; and, in no event shall any such decree be entered if the parties had been married for a period of two years prior to the institution of such suit for annulment. (d) A party who, at the time of such marriage as is mentioned in §§ 20-48 or §§ 20-49, was capable of consenting with a party not so capable, shall not be permitted to institute a suit for the purpose of annulling such marriage. http://www.counsel.net/chatboards/legal-research/topic85/12.13.02.13.57.37.html
