Can you get an annulment

[Madmumatuk]

I have tried to find out if I can get an annulment and it seems like the if the women is deceptive (eg - lied about being pregnant with another man's child) the man can get an annulment but it doesn't go the other way.

My estranged husband lied about so much. Huge debts. Work. Salary. Number of marriages he's had. And he has been violent towards me and his son - though not enough for CPS to take it to court - and I now know through social services he has a history of being controlling and violent in previous relationships.

I can't divorce until we have been together a year. But I really want to get an annulment. Does anyone know if I'm really dreaming here?

It would probably be easier to just wait and get a divorce.

Doesnt look like you meet any of the criteria for an annulment. Unless less you think the law should be changed? But I suspect that will take longer than a divorce

No, you’ll have to wait it out and divorce. www.gov.uk/how-to-annul-marriage

It’s also a year.

There's no harm in seeing a solicitor now and getting all of the paperwork ready. You can get moving as soon as one year has passed then.

I'm so angry at the deception I feel like the law needs to be changed.
