A marriage can be declared void (cancelled) if certain things are wrong. This includes if the spouse is unable to have sex, if the marriage breaks rules like not being allowed, if consent was forced or tricked, or if the spouse was pregnant by someone else. However, if you continue to live together after knowing about these issues, you can't get it annulled.
A marries B, but B was already pregnant with someone else's child. A can get the marriage annulled. However, if A and B live together after knowing this, A can't annul the marriage.
- •You have the right to seek annulment if your marriage falls under the specified conditions.
