Family Law Fact: Annulment of marriage

An annulment, or a decree of nullity, is a decree obtained from the court confirming that a marriage is not valid. This may be granted on one of two grounds: either that the marriage is void, or that it is voidable.

A void marriage is one which was invalid ab initio and has therefore never, in fact, existed. Section 11 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 sets out the situations in which a marriage will be void, namely:

ab initio .

  • That the marriage did not fulfill the requirements of the various Marriage Acts;
  • A party was underage;
  • The parties being too closely related;
  • That one party was already married or in a civil partnership;
  • That the marriage is not between a male and a female;
