Allow me to clarify. Not the Catholic Church. The State.

Is there even an "annulment" statute in state law?

There is something like this in NJ now.

Since the New Jersey Supreme Court's ruling on gay marriage, there is an obvious oops that no one has stopped to think about.

The only way to make homosexual and heterosexual marriages equal is under a Civil Marriage.

This means, the state of NJ no longer recognizes Marriage certificates issued by religious entities.

As per the office of Vital Statistics, couples must apply for a CIVIL marriage license and remarry by a judge.

One interesting catch to that. The marriage certificate does not get post dated to the original date of marriage.

The Department of Motor Vehicles no longer accepts marriage certificates from religious institutions to show a woman's name change from maiden to married. I'm still trying to figure out how to get my driver's license renewed. I can't show a history of my name change by using my religious issued Marriage Certificate.
