Annulment
Annulment is a method under civil or canon law, similar to divorce, to declare that a marriage is not a real marriage. Though the Roman Catholic Church forbids divorce, it sometimes grants annulment, saying that the marriage never really happened.
Reasons include:
- At the time of the marriage, at least one was too young; the minimum age is set at 16 years for males and 14 for females. There may be higher limits though[1]
- Ligamen, being already married[2]
- The man was ordained, either as a priest, or as a member of a monastery.
- People are closely related.[3]
