What are some grounds for an annulment?
In most states, two reasons a couple could get an annulment are “misrepresentation” and “fraud.” An example of this would be if one party failed to tell the other of his or her inability to conceive children, or one failed to tell the other that he or she was actually married to someone else. “Concealment” is another grounds for seeking an annulment. This would be if a partner hid the fact that he or she had an addiction to drugs, alcohol, or if the person concealed the fact that he or she was a convicted felon. Also, refusal or the inability to “consummate the marriage” (have sex) is a reason a couple could want to get an annulment. A misunderstanding is also grounds for an annulment. For instance, like one partner wanting to have children and the other one not wanting children.
