Annulment in Maryland

Annulment is the legal determination that a marriage did not exist, as distinguished from divorce, which is a legal determination that a marriage existed, but is terminated. There are eight grounds for annulment in Maryland. These grounds include failure to have a license or a civil/religious ceremony, bigamy, consanguinity, age, insanity, intoxication, duress or fraud. If the facts of your situation do not fit in any of these grounds then your marriage must be terminated through the divorce process.
