==Void marriages==


A marriage that is void ''ab initio'', void "from the beginning", is void as if it had never been celebrated. In general, an application to the court is not required to dissolve a marriage that is void ''ab initio'' since such marriages are void from the get-go. However, you may have to apply for a declaration that your marriage is void if someone is making a claim against you based on the fact that you are supposed to be married.
