annullment

Last modified: Thu Feb 23 16:37:37 2006

If a marriage is though to be void (see: VoidMarriage), either partner can apply to the High Court for a `declaration of nullity', indicating that the marriage effectively never took place. If a marriage is voidable, but not void (see: VoidableMarriage), either party can apply to a competent court for an annullment. Annullment is technically different from divorce (see: Divorce), because it rests on the state present at the time of marriage, not events that happened after marriage. In practice however, the effect of annullment is much the same as divorce.
