It means that, instead of the marriage ending (like a divorce), as far as the church is concerned, the marriage never happened. It's like a cancellation of the whole thing. This can be done if the marriage was not consummated or was in bad form in some other way.

It's a dissolution of a marriage less than one year old like it never existed. After one year, a divorce or death of one person are the ways to dissolve a marriage. Annulement also used to mean that the couple had never consumated (had sex or made love) during the marriage. With laws changing all the time, that may not be a factor anymore.

Annulment is a legal procedure for declaring a marriage null and void. Annulment differs from divorce where the court ends an otherwise legal marriage on a specific date.

When a couple gets annulled, it is as though they were never married, as opposed to being married and getting a divorce. This comes up a lot in Catholicism.

it means that you were never married. there are only a few reasons you can get an annulment...i know one of them is that the marriage was never consumated.

It means that you end the marriage immediately.
