Annulment is a legal procedure that dissolves a marriage as if it had never happened. A marriage can be annulled for various reasons depending upon particular circumstances and state laws. However, a marriage may generally be annulled in the following situations: 1) where the marriage between the parties is prohibited by law; 2) where either party was impotent at the time of marriage; or 3) where either party had a husband or a wife living at the time of the marriage, unless they cohabited after the death or marriage dissolution of the former spouse of such party; or 4) where either party was a ward under a guardianship and was found by the Court to lack the capacity to contract a valid marriage. Please see specific state for details and/or differences.

One of the issues that arose after the Iowa Supreme Court’s decision in Varnum v. Brien, which held that Iowa’s Constitution would not permit Iowa to limit the institution of marriage to opposite-sex couples, regards how the state should treat different types of same-sex unions from other states. Some of the most interesting and important concerns center around the status Iowa will give to out-of-state civil unions and domestic partnerships, relationships that receive legal recognition but are not true marriages in their states of origin. Since federal law (the Full Faith and Credit Clause and the Federal Defense of Marriage Act) and choice-of-law principles allow Iowa to recognize out-of-state, same-sex relationships, Iowa courts and legislators must now look to statutory l...
