Annulment
The court’s judgment that a so-called "marriage" was never legally valid or became invalid after the marriage. Where a marriage was never legally consummated, for instance if one party was already married, the marriage is said to be "void," or a "nullity," i.e., it never existed. In contrast, a "voidable" marriage is valid unless, or until, annulled. Grounds for annulling a "voidable" marriage include serious fraud or a party’s legal incompetence at the time of marriage. Most annulments are obtained for religious reasons through a religious tribunal.

Annulment
Annulment is a legal procedure for declaring a marriage null and void. Unlike divorce, it is retroactive: an annulled marriage is considered never to have existed.
In strict legal terminology, annulment refers only to making a voidable marriage null; if the marriage is void ab initio, then it is automatically null, although a legal declaration of nullity is required to establish this. The process of obtaining such a declaration is similar to the annulment process.
