Annulment
Annulment is a legal procedure for
declaring a marriage null and void.
Unlike divorce, it is retroactive:
an annulled marriage is considered
never to have existed.In strict
legal terminology, annulment refers
only to making a voidable marriage
null; if the marriage is void ab
initio, then it is automatically
null, although a legal declaration
of nullity is required to establish
this. The process of obtaining such
a declaration is similar to the
annulment process.
