An annulment is a formal declaration by a court that a marriage was never valid and that the couple should be returned to their pre-marriage state of affairs. The UK court can make one of two declarations:
- The marriage is declared null and invalid: this phrase alludes to a marriage that was never recognised as valid.
- The marriage is voidable: This indicates that the marriage was valid prior to the annulment’s declaration of nullity and void.
It may also be advisable to obtain an annulment when there are religious or cultural issues surrounding obtaining a divorce. Some people do not want to go through the divorce process or be labelled as divorcees for various reasons that are specific to them.
Tann Law Solicitors understand the importance of religion and culture in these situations and will provide you with appropriate assistance.
