What is a Voidable Marriage?
A voidable marriage continues until a party exercises his or her right to have it annulled. Some examples of situations that may qualify as “voidable” are:
An undissolved prior marriage,
one party being underage,
a blood relationship,
the absence of mental or physical capacity,
intoxication,
the absence of a valid license,
duress,
refusal of intercourse, or
fraud and misrepresentation as to religion.
The jurisdictional requirements and procedure for obtaining an annulment are the same as for a divorce. Ariz.Rev.Stat. §25-302(A).
The court will divide the property of the parties and determine matters concerning the children of the marriage. Ariz.Rev.Stat. §25-302(B).
It should be noted that legal annulments are not the same as religious annulments.
You should consult with an attorney about legal grounds for an annulment.
