Are Religious Annulments Legal in Pennsylvania?


Many individuals are under the impression that they do not necessarily have to head to court if they want to have their marriage annulled. Unfortunately, this is not the case, as annulments granted through places of worship or other religion-based services are not legal.

The only way that you will be able to officially have your marriage declared void is through the court system. Failure to obtain your annulment legally will result in the inability to remarry until your marriage is annulled or until you obtain a divorce.

Grounds for an Annulment in PA

You may be under the impression that obtaining an annulment will be fairly simple; however, annulments are only granted in very specific circumstances. This is because when your marriage is annulled, it is as if the marriage never existed in the first place, whereas when you divorce, the marriage has effectively ended.

Pennsylvania law allows individuals to have their marriage annulled when either spouse was forced or coerced into the marriage, if either spouse was already married at the time of the wedding, if either spouse is not physically or mentally capable of giving their consent, or if the couple are blood relatives.

It is also possible to obtain a marriage annulment if one spouse is under the age of consent, which is sixteen in PA, if the parents of an underage spouse have not given their consent for the marriage; if either spouse was inebriated at the time of the marriage; or if one spouse is determined to be incurably impotent without the knowledge of the other spouse when the couple married.

These are just a few of the instances under which you can have your marriage annulled, and if you have further questions about whether you meet the criteria necessary for a Pennsylvania marriage annulment, you can speak with your attorney.
