How does annulment work?

Va. Code §20-89.1. Suit to annul marriage.
a) When a marriage is alleged to be void or voidable for any of the
causes mentioned in §§§§ 20-13, 20-38.1, 20-45.1 or by virtue of
fraud or duress, either party may institute a suit for annulling the
same; and upon proof of the nullity of the marriage, it shall be
decreed void by a decree of annulment.
(b) In the case of natural or incurable impotency of body existing
at the time of entering into the marriage contract, or when, prior
to the marriage, either party, without the knowledge of the other,
had been convicted of a felony, or when, at the time of the
marriage, the wife, without the knowledge of the husband, was with
child by some person other than the husband, or where the husband,
without knowledge of the wife, had fathered a child born to a woman
other than the wife within ten months after the date of the
solemnization of the marriage, or where, prior to the marriage,
either party had been, without the knowledge of the other, a
prostitute, a decree of annulment may be entered upon proof, on
complaint of the party aggrieved.
(c) No annulment for a marriage alleged to be void or voidable under
subsection (b) of §§ 20-45.1, subsection (b) of this section or by
virtue of fraud or duress shall be decreed if it appears that the
party applying for such annulment has cohabited with the other after
knowledge of the facts giving rise to what otherwise would have been
grounds for annulment; and, in no event shall any such decree be
entered if the parties had been married for a period of two years
prior to the institution of such suit for annulment.
(d) A party who, at the time of such marriage as is mentioned in §§
20-48 or §§ 20-49, was capable of consenting with a party not so
capable, shall not be permitted to institute a suit for the purpose
of annulling such marriage.

John, you can research this more yourself by searching such
parameters as "Commonwealth of Virginia" + "law" + "annulment", or
modifying the search parameters to your specific circumstances.

On the facts you have provided, "fraud" might be a basis, but you
will have to check the statutes or hire an attorney to help you, as
only a licensed, competent attorney with expertise in this area of
the law can advise you on CURRENT Virginia law. If you can afford
it, it is advisable to retain counsel.

If you cannot afford an attorney, you may be able to proceed pro se
(yourself).
