Annulment in Hawaii is rare; this is because people prefer
divorce over annulment due to its uncomplicated procedure. Annulment is a terminology used for declaring a marriage void. Like other states, Hawaii also has its own annulment grounds recognized by the Hawaii annulment laws:
Bigamy or Existence of a Prior Marriage
Hawaii annulment laws clearly state that both the spouses must be single at the time of a marriage. If a married person enters into another marriage without divorcing from the first spouse, the marriage will be considered bigamous.
Incest
If a person enters into restricted degrees of kinship i.e. have marital relationship with a natural parent, child, grandparent, grandchild, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece, stepparent, stepchild, adoptive parent, adoptive child, brother, half brother sister, half sister, adopted brother, or adopted sister, the union is considered incestuous and the marriage is not recognized. Such a marriage can be annulled under Hawaii annulment laws.
Mental Illness
According to Hawaii annulment laws, if your spouse has some kind of mental illness which is beyond cure, you can obtain annulment.
Physical Disability
If your spouse has a physical disability which is adversely affecting your marital relationship, you can get your marriage annulled under Hawaii annulment laws.
