I was wondering if I qualify for a marriage annulment I’ve only been married for a few days and my wife left to be with another woman the day after we got married.
If you have a valid marriage then you would not qualify for an annulment and instead must proceed with an absolute divorce which requires a one-year period of separation.
An annulment can occur only when there is an invalid marriage. For example, one party was too young to marry, one party was not competent to understand that he/she was entering into a marriage or lacked the capacity to marry, etc.
