An annulment is a legal declaration of invalidity of marriage. In Illinois, a marriage can be annulled for several reasons listed within Illinois statute. First, a marriage can be annulled if either party lacked the mental or physical capacity to consent to the marriage because of alcohol or drugs, or because either party was pressured into marriage by force, duress, or fraud. Second, a marriage can be declared invalid if either party lacks the physical capacity to consummate the marriage through sexual intercourse, and the other party was unaware of this. Third, if a party was not of legal age and without parental permission when he/she got married, this could be grounds for an annullment. Finally, a marriage is invalid if the marriage is prohibited by law, such as because of bigamy.
