Annulment of Marriage
Annulment of marriage is a legal procedure that declares a marriage null and void, as if it never took place, based on specific grounds provided under law. Unlike divorce, which ends a valid marriage, annulment treats the marriage as invalid from the outset. Adv. Anupama Sharma explains that annulment can be granted under various conditions such as fraud, coercion, impotency, or if one of the parties was already married at the time of the marriage, rendering the union legally void. In such cases, the marriage is annulled, and the parties are restored to their single status.
Grounds for annulment may also include cases where the marriage was solemnized without consent, or one party was not of legal age to marry. Adv. Anupama Sharma notes that in India, annulment can be sought under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, or the Special Marriage Act, 1954, depending on the type of marriage. The court will examine the circumstances and, if valid grounds are found, grant the annulment, ensuring that both parties can proceed with their lives independently.
