Voidable marriages occur in a number of ways: - If one party to the marriage was of unsound mind, or suffering a mental disorder at the time of marriage - If it later transpires that the wife was pregnant with the child of another - If one of the parties to the marriage was suffering a venereal disease at the time of the wedding - If for whatever reason the marriage has not been consummated, although the party refusing to consummate the marriage cannot apply for an annulment on this basis - If an interim Gender Recognition Certificate was issued after the marriage, so long as this was within 6 months of the application for annulment Your family law solicitor will apply to have the marriage annulled on the basis that it is voidable. Voidable marriages are considered legal marriages which have been annulled. This is in contrast to void marriages, which are effectively wiped from the records. A void marriage takes place when either one of the parties to the marriage was under the age of 16, or if the parties were closely related such as brother and sister. A marriage can also be void if it later transpires that either party to the marriage was already married or in a civil partnership. Following a successful application for nullity by your family law solicitor, the void marriage is annulled and treated as if it never took place. Marriages can be annulled at any time, unlike divorce which can only be applied for after 12 months of marriage.
