What are the grounds for obtaining an annulment?
The grounds for annulment vary between states. Typically, however, an annulment may be obtained for one of the following reasons: • The marriage was incestuous. • The marriage was bigamous. • The marriage was the result of force, fraud, or physical or mental incapacity. • The marriage took place when one or both spouses were below the legal age for marriage. • The marriage took place when one or both spouses were already married or in a registered domestic partnership. • The marriage took place when one or both spouses were under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
