An annulment, or \u00ab, is a legal declaration that a marriage is void from the beginning, as opposed to a divorce, which ends a valid marriage. This article outlines the grounds for annulment, the legal process involved, and the implications of an annulment in Colombia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Grounds for Annulment<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Colombia, the Civil Code specifies several grounds on which an annulment can be sought. These include:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fraud: if one party used false documents or his\/her decision to get married was not real and only looking for a green card.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lack of Consent: If one party did not freely consent to the marriage due to coercion, fraud, or misunderstanding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Incapacity: If one party was mentally incapacitated or otherwise legally unable to enter into a marriage contract at the time of the marriage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Prior Marriage: If one of the parties was already married at the time of the new marriage, the latter is considered void.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Prohibited Relationships: If the parties are related in a manner that is legally prohibited, such as close blood relatives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Age: If one party did not meet the legal age for marriage without proper consent from a guardian.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Defects in the Marriage Ceremony: If the marriage was not conducted according to the legal requirements specified by Colombian law.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This procedure of annulment requires different legal technique compared to a divorce; therefore it is important to have a consultation for each case.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Please feel to contact me if you are interested having a consultation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Esteban Rada<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Colombian attorney<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lawyerscolombia.com\">www.lawyerscolombia.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">email: info@lawyerscolombia.com<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">telephone 57-311-7693976<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Esteban Rada Colombian attorney www.lawyerscolombia.com email: info@lawyerscolombia.com telephone 57-311-7693976 Marriage is often regarded as a lifelong commitment, but there are circumstances under which individuals may seek [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":738,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_joinchat":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-737","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.0","language":"es","enabled_languages":["en","es"],"languages":{"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"es":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lawyerscolombia.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/737","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lawyerscolombia.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lawyerscolombia.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lawyerscolombia.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lawyerscolombia.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=737"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lawyerscolombia.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/737\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":739,"href":"https:\/\/lawyerscolombia.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/737\/revisions\/739"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lawyerscolombia.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/738"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lawyerscolombia.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=737"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lawyerscolombia.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=737"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lawyerscolombia.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=737"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
