I thought annulments were for only unconsummated marriages, the Kennedy family excepted, of course.

You're thinking of civil annulments, not Church.

No, usually a “pre-existing condition” - a pregnancy, hidden homosexuality, or “immaturity” (as I understand it).

Actually you are closer to the mark than the ones pushing the current Vatican-2 annulment mill line.

Previously extremely, extremely rare (one year in the 1930's only about 35 cases granted by the Vatican) and more or less a combination of non-consummated, unable to consummate, mentally disabled who married their under-aged cousin at the point of a shotgun - and all at the same time LOL!
