Annulment of the marriage
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzA marriage can be annulled under certain circumstances, e.g. if you were a minor or legally incompetent when you got married, if you were unconscious or had a temporary mental disorder when you got married, if you were fraudulently deceived, if you were unlawfully threatened or if you did not know that you were getting married.
To file an application with the competent local court - family court - please contact a lawyer. The court proceedings will examine whether there are grounds for annulment. Under certain circumstances, annulment of the marriage is nevertheless excluded. This would be the case if you indicate that you wish to continue the marriage. For example, if you were not yet 18 years old when you got married and now, as an adult, you indicate that you wish to continue the marriage, the marriage will remain intact.
Proceedings for annulment of the marriage can only be initiated by a lawyer.
- The lawyer will submit a written, reasoned application for annulment to the Local Court - Family Court.
- The family court will serve this application on the spouse.
- The further procedure depends on the reaction of the spouse. As a rule, there will be a court hearing at which both spouses will be heard. It may be necessary to take evidence on the conditions for annulment.
- The family court will then make a decision on the application.
- An appeal against the decision of the local court can be lodged by a lawyer within one month. The competent higher regional court will decide on this.
Please contact a lawyer.
The local court - family court - responsible for you in accordance with § 122 FamFG will be determined by the lawyer you have appointed.
