Some marriages may be void from the beginning and these marriages
may be annulled in the following cases:
1. If a party is already married and the prior marriage has
not been terminated.
2. When two parties are too closely related.
3. If either party was incompetent.
4. If either party to a common law marriage was less than 18
years of age.
Other marriages are voidable and thus, may be annulled in the
following cases:
1. Where either party is less than 16 years of age, unless the
marriage was expressly authorized by the Court.
2. In certain cases, if either party is between 16 and 18 years
of age.
3. If either party was under the influence of intoxicating alcohol
or drugs at the time of marriage.
4. If either party is impotent, and that condition was not disclosed
to the other party.
5. If there has been inducement by fraud, duress, coercion,
or force by either party, and no voluntary cohabitation later.
