Annulment is a legal procedure for declaring a marriage null and void. Unlike divorce, it is retroactive: an annulled marriage is considered to be invalid from the beginning almost as if it had never taken place. In strict legal terminology, (annulment) refers only to making a voidable marriage null; if the marriage is void ab initio, then it is automatically null, although a legal declaration of nullity is required to establish this. The process of obtaining such a declaration is similar to the annulment process. Generally speaking, annulment, despite its retrospective nature, still results in any children born being considered legitimate in the United States and many other countries.

What are grounds for annulment in Australia?
Q. I am American and my wife is Japanese. Although we were in a true relationship, we entered into a legal marriage in Japan for residential reasons (i.e., to get her a visa). Now we are separated and I want to marry someone else (for real this time). My legal wife is resisting divorce because she wants to maintain her residency status, by claiming that we had a true marriage. Is it possible to file for an annulment in Australia in this case on the basis that the marriage was fraudulent?
