Marridge annulment?

Lvstar

I married 2 years and exactly 1 day agoo and tell you what biggest mistake of my life.
I have found out my husband soon to be ex had sex with his cousin whilst she was 16.... i didnt know about this and it is physically making me sick knowing i was at her 18th and we where all having drinks and good time and now all this. Anyone think id be able to get annulment alltogether? Im just sick thinking about this! Its very upsetting and in my culture seen as disgusting and shefull .

Marriage is the word for starters.

Are you in Ireland?

Go for divorce. Civil Annullment has rules. The burden of proof is higher than divorce.

Weird alright (to most people I'd imagine) but not illegal or anything. Not sure on the age bit though....

Did it happen before or after you married him?

Divorce is the separation option, if that is what you want.

It is illegal on age grounds. Seventeen is the age of consent in ROI, that is if it happened in ROI

Taken seriously by the court.

Easiest option assuming there are no children in the marriage is to simply up and leave and go for divorce in 5 years. At two years there's probably very little financial input in it, so fairly easy to just up and out considering the reason.

If its a Catholic marriage, you probably will get a church annulment quite easily - a marriage in a church in Ireland is like two marriages, the church one and the official state one.

If religion matters to you, a church annulment is something to consider - it won't make a difference legally, but will allow you marry in a church should you wish to be married again.
