Virginia Marriage Annulment

Many people feel they are entitled to an annulment if they decide the marriage is not working after being married for a short period of time; that is not the case. In order to qualify for an annulment, certain requirements must be met.

A void marriage is a marriage that was never valid, such as an incestuous marriage (between brother and sister or parent and child or where one party was married to another at the time of the marriage.) A voidable marriage is a marriage that was not valid when entered into but which may be made valid later.
