A marriage cannot be annulled unless you can prove any of the following circumstances:
- That one of the parties was already married at the time of the ceremony
- That the parties were too closely related
- That the ceremony did not meet the requirements of the Marriage Act
- That one of the parties did not consent to the marriage
- That one of the parties was not of marriageable age.

Hi MizzCarmen,
To apply for a marriage annulment you have to apply to the Family Court, then serve the other party with the application so they are aware of the proceedings. The other person then has the opportunity within 28 days to file an affidavit in response to your application which they must serve on you if they disagree with the application. If no response is filed the court will hear the application in their absence.
A court will grant an annulment order if based on the evidence you have provided they find that the requirements have been met.
