Nope, MANY reasons why a valid marriage doesn't exist...after wedding, wife/husband states that they are not open to having children, either is not capable of consummating the marriage, find out that you are too closely related to each other (perhaps an adoption situation), find out that one or the other was coerced into the marriage, find out that one or the other had been previously married and the marriage had not been dissolved (Las Vegas Quickie),...I have no idea of how many there are, but people do strange things.....

All which should have been addressed in the pre-cana classes if the priest was doing his job properly.

There should be no excuse for a priest even marrying people in which those situations have not been thoroughly addressed.

Again, it's just excuses.

Annulment breaks the one flesh relationship between a married man and woman by using conditions that are NEVER found in Scripture.

In short, it's just a man-made contrivance to allow for a person to get out of a marriage without calling it a divorce. The end result is the same however, thus making annulment church sanctioned divorce.

Being naive is so much easier than accepting reality.....
