Annulment is a legal practice that completely
dissolves a marriage by completely voiding it.
Legally, it's as if the marriage never happened.
An annulment declares that the marriage was
invalid and therefore never existed. After a
successful Annulment in Singapore, both parties
marital status will return to being single
rather than divorced. Our Family lawyers in
Singapore have extensive expertise representing
both parties seeking annulment and parties who
have been served with an annulment. Reasons for
an Annulment Annulment in Singapore requires
that the marriage should be void or voidable. A
void marriage occurs when an error prevents the
essential elements of a legitimate marriage from
being met. For example, the marriage was not
officially solemnized, or it was a marriage
between close relatives. Examples of voidable
marriages are

• Non-consummated marriages where one party
  willfully refuses to consummate the marriage.
• Non-consummated marriages where one party is
  unable to consummate the marriage due to any
  reason.

  than three years unlike for divorce. You may seek
  an annulment if both parties are residents of
  Singapore at the time of filing.
