An annulment is the process through which a marriage or civil union is declared to be null and void. In other words, if a couple is granted an annulment, they will no longer be considered to be in a legal marriage or union.

A marriage or civil union can only be annulled under certain conditions, including:

• one or both parties were unable to consent to entering a marriage or civil union LESS THAN 90 DAYS AGO for one of the following reasons:
• being forced to agree to the marriage or civil union
• being under the influence of drugs or alcohol; or
• the presence of a mental illness that would prevent one from being able to consent
• one spouse is physically unable to consummate a marriage through sexual intercourse
• you are in a prohibited marriage or prohibited civil union; OR
• you are a minor child that has entered into a marriage or civil union
