SuziQ I respect your opinion... However, we’ve had an annulment in our extended family, and the spouse was not even contacted. Nor were the sisters or the brother in laws. And I was the best man at their wedding... Not only that, they renewed their vows after being married 30 years.
I’ve been married for almost 46 years. Married in the church... And will be till “death do us part”. My marriage, however, wasn’t a valid Sacramental marriage. I know that and God knows that. A tribunal never would...
Because some cases require a lot less investigation than others. My niece married a young man that was stoned at the time of the marriage, yes in Church at the ceremony. Four years later annulment granted almost no investigation required.
