Marriage Annulment is a declaration by the court that a marriage was never legally valid or has become invalid for a specified legal reason. Under English and Welsh law, an annulment may be granted for a number of different reasons, including if the marriage hasn’t been consummated, if either party was already married at the time of the marriage and other more technical legal reasons. Annulment time frames are strict, meaning you must apply to the court to annul the marriage by making an application within a reasonable period of time, and, in many cases, this will be within three years of the marriage. Unlike divorce, there is no requirement to have been married for 12 months before applying. The grounds for obtaining an annulment are not always straightforward, and you will need to discuss your particular circumstances in detail with a family lawyer who specialises in this area of law.

An annulment is a legal process for declaring that a registered marriage was not valid or has become invalid. If you obtain an annulment, it will be as if you were never married.
The timeframe to annul a marriage may differ slightly depending on your circumstances. If you are eligible for an annulment and the case is uncontested the annulment will usually take between six to nine months to finalise.
Divorce is a process for ending a legal marriage whereas, an annulment declares that the marriage was never legally valid or that it has become invalid. Unlike divorce, you can apply for an annulment in the first year or marriage if the criteria for annulment are met.
