Nullity of Marriage Applications: Legal Expertise You Can Trust

Nullity applications are intricate legal processes that necessitate considerable expertise, as they involve unusual circumstances and strict criteria.  Sherwin O’Riordan offer the specialized knowledge and support our clients require to navigate these complex matters effectively.

Understanding Nullity

A nullity is a legal declaration that a marriage never existed. This process can be categorized into two types of marriages that may be annulled:

Void Marriages: These are marriages that are considered never to have taken place. In this case, it is not mandatory to obtain a Court Order to annul the marriage. However, we strongly advise securing an Order of Nullity from the Family Law Courts for legal clarity and protection.

          Key Reasons for Void Marriages:

• • Lack of capacity at the time of the ceremony (e.g., mental incapacity or underage).
  • Absence of consent from one of the parties during the marriage contract.

Voidable Marriages: Unlike void marriages, voidable marriages require a Court Order to be annulled, and these marriages remain valid until such an order is obtained.

            Common Reasons for Voidable Marriages:

• • • One party is incapable of consummating the marriage.
    • One or both parties are unable to engage in a proper or normal marital relationship, often due to psychiatric or personality disorders.
