An annulment is the court’s declaration that the marriage never took place. In Idaho, people prefer divorce over annulment because it is hard to prove annulment grounds set by Idaho annulment laws. Following are the grounds for annulment under the Idaho annulment laws:
Underage Marriage
Marriage of a person under the age of 18 without the consent of his or her parents, guardian or the court, is considered illegal in Idaho. Such a marriage can be annulled under the Idaho annulment laws.
Bigamy
According to Idaho annulment laws, you can claim annulment if your spouse was already married when s/he married you.
Mental Incapacity
If your spouse is mentally ill, either completely or partially, and this is adversely affecting your married life, you can obtain annulment according to the Idaho annulment laws.
Fraud
If one of the party’s consent for marriage is obtained by fraud or misrepresentation, the victim can file for Idaho annulment.
Impotency
