Annulment of Marriage
Annulment is a legal procedure whereby a marriage is declared null and void, as though it had not taken place. An annulment may be sought when it can be established that the marriage is void. This may be because one party did not understand that they were getting married, for instance due to language barriers or intoxication. Alternatively it may arise in circumstances where the marriage was not created by someone with the legal authority to marry or that significant requirements of the Marriage Act were not otherwise complied with.
