What is the MAXIMUM that you can be married but still be able to get an annullement?

The laws regarding annulment differ from state to state. You need to check to see what they are in your state. However, the length of the marriage does not have as much relevance as the circumstances of the marriage.

I think GuruBlue is correct. Under a few circumstances an annulment may be granted within 60 days of a marriage. But other than that, the length of time the couple was married has nothing to do with an annulment.

Check this site for general information. You should also check the laws in your friend's state.

To determine the maximum amount of time you can be married while still being eligible for an annulment, it is important to understand the concept of annulment and the specific criteria set forth by the jurisdiction in question.

Annulment is a legal process that declares a marriage null and void, as if it never existed, in contrast to a divorce which ends a valid marriage. While divorce dissolves a valid marriage, an annulment establishes that the marriage was invalid from its inception.

The specific timeframe for obtaining an annulment can vary depending on the jurisdiction, as laws regarding annulment may differ between countries, states, and provinces. In general, there is no specified maximum duration for a marriage to be eligible for annulment. Instead, the validity of the marriage is assessed based on certain grounds established within the legal system.

Grounds for annulment typically include:

1. Lack of consent: If one or both parties did not voluntarily give their consent to the marriage, such as being forced or under duress, it may be grounds for annulment.

2. Relationship prohibited by law: If the marriage violates laws regarding consanguinity (blood relation), affinity (relationship by marriage), or age, it may be invalid and eligible for annulment.

3. Mental incapacity: If either spouse was mentally incapacitated or unable to understand the implications of marriage, the marriage may be deemed voidable.

4. Fraud or misrepresentation: If one spouse intentionally deceived the other about a vital aspect of the marriage, such as hiding a previous marriage or concealing important personal information, it may be sufficient grounds for annulment.

5. Physical incapacity: If one spouse is unable to consummate the marriage due to impotence or other physical factors, and this was not disclosed before the marriage, it might be grounds for annulment.

It is important to consult the laws specific to your jurisdiction or seek legal advice to determine the precise criteria for annulment, including any time limitations or additional grounds. Legal professionals are trained to navigate the complexities of family law and can provide the most accurate information for your particular situation.
