Our offices are sometimes asked that question. We have had people in our office married or re-married less than 3 months, and this question comes up. Annulments are extremely rare...we tell our clients that if you have only been married a week, you still have to get a divorce rather than an annulment.
These are the only times an annulment can be granted in Mississippi:
- Bigamy
- Statutory incest
- Incurable impotency
- Lack of physical capacity to marry
- Insanity at the time of the marriage
- Pregnancy by another without the husband's knowledge
- Lack of consent due to age
- Failure to comply with the statutory licensing provisions
If you would like more information or think you fit one of the scenarios, please give us a call and we can advise you.
