    Default Is an Annulment Possible for Fraud

    Hi,

    I recently (2 weeks ago) married my girlfriend in New York. I am here on tourist visa and we got married so that I would not have to leave the country. We have both come to realize that it was a rushed decision and would like to have it undone. If it was up to me we would simply get a divorce, but my girlfriend is catholic and would really like to have it annulled, in which cause she must prove that she married me because of fraud. When we got married i promised her a Catholic ceremony in the not too distant future, but now I am not planning to go through with that. Would that constitute sufficient fraud for annulment?

    Thank you,

    Gunnar

    Fraud to induce a marriage, by definition, cannot include a change of mind or change of circumstances that does not arise until after the marriage has occurred.

    She can contact her priest about getting it annuled by the Church. This has nothing to do with the civil marriage so you will have to get a divorce. They can be two separate issues, one religious and one legal.
