It's not alcoholism itself that is grounds, it's failure to address an addiction that gets in the way of the marriage. I know more than one person who was granted annulment with this as the leading cause of a whole lot of other problems.

I know one woman who was married to an ex-priest, who left the priesthood for her, and then left her for another woman who was granted annulment based on his instability.

I know of any number of marriages annulled when one side or the other wouldn't have children. That's automatic grounds.

There's any number of things that are grounds. Abuse is. Inability to form a marriage relationship. The problem is proving it.

Strangely, growing up in smaller towns, 65 thousand or less, I don't know one person who has ever applied for or got an annulment!! Maybe it's the 'small town' values?? LOL!
