Our Resolve. Your Resolution.
A marriage can be annulled if it is a void or voidable marriage and an annulment can take place at any time after the wedding, unlike a divorce where you have to wait a year.
A void marriage is where your marriage is not legally valid, for example, because you are closely related; one/both of you were under the age of 16; or one of you was already married or in a civil partnership.
A voidable marriage is marriage which is classed as being defective. A marriage can be annulled on this basis for a number of reasons including where: the marriage was not consummated (although this does not currently apply for same sex couples); you did not properly consent to the marriage; the other person had a sexually transmitted disease which you were unaware of at the time of the wedding; or your spouse was pregnant by another man, which you were unaware of at the time of the wedding.
