Abstract
In this chapter we consider void and voidable marriages and look at the law of nullity. The law is laid down in the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 (MCA 1973). Nullity is considered in Part I on Marriage, because, by considering the grounds on which a marriage can be annulled, the requirements needed to create a valid marriage can be identified and discussed.
