In modern society, marriage is a serious legal agreement that requires compliance with certain requirements and procedures for its conclusion. However, sometimes situations arise where a marriage can be declared invalid for various reasons. In such cases, it is important to seek help from experienced lawyers specializing in this area of law.
According to Article 39 of the Family Code of Ukraine: “A marriage is invalid if it is registered with a person who is simultaneously in another registered marriage. A marriage is invalid if it is registered between persons who are relatives in a direct line of descent, as well as between siblings. A marriage is invalid if it is registered with a person recognized as legally incapable.”
According to Ukrainian legislation, specifically Article 40 of the Family Code, there are specific cases where a marriage can be declared invalid by a court decision. One such case is the conclusion of a marriage without the free consent of the woman or man. Situations where this can occur include:
- the person, at the time of marriage, was in a severe state of mental disorder;
- the person was under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or other toxic substances during the marriage registration;
- the marriage was concluded as a result of physical or psychological violence, leading to the person’s unawareness of the significance of their actions or their inability to manage them.
Invalidation of marriage is quite a troublesome and difficult process. Considering this fact, the best solution is to turn to highly qualified lawyers who can assist you in family disputes.
