Void Or Voidable Marriage

Question: void and voidable marriage? What is the difference between void and voidable marriage?

Answer: A void marriage would be one where one party or the other misrepresented themselves to the state in get the marriage license (I pretend to be Britney Spears and apply for a marriage license, or I say that I am divorced when I am, in fact, still married). A marriage that is an violation of any statutory limitation is void (like a gay marriage in Ohio). It's as if that marriage never existed. A voidable marriage would be one where I misrepresent myself to the party that I am marrying - I fail to disclose that I used to be a man, or something else of the magnitude that would make it doubtful that the other party would have entered the marriage. In that case, the innocent party has the option to void the marriage.

Question: How do you make a marriage void? I found that my previous marriage is still in effect. My first wife didn't follow through with a divorce.

It has been five years for my second marriage and my first marriage was a civil one as is my second one.

Answer: After five years, I doubt if you have grounds for annulment on your second marriage, but since your first marriage was never dissolved your second marriage isn't valid anyway. You definitely need to see an attorney as quickly as possible!

Question: Would this result in a marriage being null and void? I'm just curious about this and i'm looking for an honest answer. Imagine a scenario where a man and woman marry but sometime down the line the man or woman (who happen to be transgender) decide that they wish to go for a sex change operation. Now considering that at this point they gone through the transition and have been successful would that make the marriage null and void? Legally speaking would they still be married?

Answer: Yes they would, because of the legal documentation they have......... 1. Birth Certificate, stating their sex when they were born 2. Marriage Certificate 3. Gender designated legal documentation, provided by the physician. This document is also legal in obtaining a passport. Its is easy as a change of name. When u change your name.

Question: Could i get married and process new visa after the first void marriage? If i get to usa as k1 but after couple of month we split up and void the marriage therefore haven't change the status yet from fiance is it possible to just ot leave the country and apply for other visa? Student, working or if i get married would it work?

Answer: Basic rule is if you are in status you may change status but you must be in legal status at the time of approval to receive the visa on US soil.However K1 visas are only valid for so long before they expire & thus it is VERY unlikely you will get an approval before your visa runs out. Adjustment through another marriage might be possible but will go through extra scrutiny due to the visa you were given prior.

Question: Is there a process of Annulment(Declaring a Marriage Null and Void) for denominations other than Catholicism? I'm just curious what other denominations(like Calvinists, Evangelists, etc) utilize to allow for divorce. How would the divorce be viewed with other denominations if there was abuse involved for instance?

Answer: The Catholics need an annulment process because they believe that marriage is a sacrament and that the vows are spiritually binding for eternity. Protestants do not believe marriage is a sacrament and are generally content to let the state regulate it. If the state releases someone from their vows (via divorce) we release them from their vows and they are free to remarry. Catholics believe that for remarriage to be valid, the church must annul the former marriage first.

Question: If DOMA is repealed, will state laws banning same-sex marriage become null and void? Due to the US Full-Faith and Credit Clause, if DOMA is repealed, can states legally NOT recognize same-sex marriage performed in other states? Some states have constitutional amendments that ban recognition of same-sex marriage, once DOMA is repealed I am under the impression that they would then be unconstitutional under federal law? Any experts on this?

Answer: No, the issue is untested in courts. DOMA was introduced before any legal marriage for same-sex couples existed, and was intended to pre-empt legal challenges based on full faith and credit. There is a strong constitutional argument that says full faith and credit has never applied to marriage laws anyway - for example, northern states allowed inter-racial marriages long before they were allowed in Southern states; and it wasn't until 1968 that the Supreme Court finally ruled on this, ending all such laws nationwide. If DOMA was repealed, the same would happen with the current state laws dealing with recognition of marriages - and it's quite possible the Supreme Court would rule with the states, saying that this is not a full faith issue.
