What is an annulment? How is it different from divorce?

Marriage is a lifelong, exclusive union between a man and a woman for their mutual support and the bearing and raising of children. Unfortunately, marital failure can occur. But, why do marriages fail? How do we handle these heartbreaking situations?

One reason for marital failure is that the relationship may never have been an actual marriage. This situation may call for an annulment investigation. An annulment is a declaration that no marriage existed and that the man and woman are not husband and wife.

Join Fr. Dominic Langevin, O.P., as he explains the annulment process and how annulments differ from divorce.
