→What about annulment?
When a marriage is ''annulled'', the marriage is cancelled as if the couple had never been married at all. A marriage can sometimes be annulled if there is a problem with the legal requirements of the marriage ceremony or the legal capacity of the parties to marry.
The ''[[Divorce Act]]'' doesn't deal with the annulment of marriages, only divorce. Annulment is governed by the common law and is nowhere near as easy to get as a divorce. The section on [[Marriage & Married Spousesand the Law on Marriage]] in the [[Family Relationships]] chapter talks about when and how marriages can be annulled.
