Annulment is the declaration that the marriage never existed. In Georgia, annulment is very rare because it is hard to prove the grounds set by Georgia annulment laws. An annulment in Georgia takes about 30 days after filing the petition in the court. To get Georgia annulment, you must base your claim on one of the following grounds for annulment:
Incest
Incest is sexual intercourse with a close relation. Georgia annulment is lawful if the marriage takes place between blood relatives like, parent/child, stepchild, grandparent/grandchild, aunt/nephew and uncle/niece.
Mental Incapacitation
Mental incapacitation, paramagnet or temporary, is a legal ground for annulment according to Georgia annulment laws. Georgian laws prohibit a mentally disabled person from entering into a marital contract.
Underage Marriage
Marriage under the marriageable age set by the laws of the state, that is 16 years without the approval of parents, guardians or court, is considered illegal. Such a marriage can be annulled under the Georgia annulment laws.
Fraudulent Act
If a person commits any fake contract or misrepresents him or herself to get into a marriage, his partner can claim annulment.
Duress
Under Georgia annulment laws, if you have been forced into a marriage, you can bail out by filing for annulment.
Bigamy
Georgia annulment laws state that only a single person can get married. You can claim annulment if your spouse was already married at the time of marriage.
