Getting an annulment is different from getting a divorce. An annulment can only be obtained if the marriage is perceived as faulty in some way, such as if one partner lied to another to deceive them into marrying, or if they were already married. Most annulments are Catholic, since Catholicism is against divorce. Annulments are a legal process that require you to prove in court that a mistake was made, so you'll need a lawyer. If you are merely unhappy with your marriage and there is no factual mistake or problem, you will need to file for divorce and not annulment.

What are the rights of man in a post annulment?
A man and woman have the same legal rights after a legal annulment of marriage. Their marriage is treated as though it had never taken place and the parties are free to marry. A civil annulment is a decree that the marriage is deemed never to have existed (in legal terms, it is null and void). This differs from a divorce, which terminates a valid marriage. There are both religious and civil annulments. In the United States a civil annulment or divorce must be obtained first in order to make an ecclesiastical annulment effective. Civil laws regarding civil annulment vary from state to state. Some states do not allow annulment if there are children born of the marriage. That makes sense because the couple can dissolve the marriage by a divorce proceeding. Every state has statutory reasons why a court can declare a marriage null and void. The court in states that allow civil annulment with children may look more closely at those reasons if there were children born of the marriage since declaring a marriage null and void may have some emotional or social effect on the children. If there are children involved, the annulment does not make them "illegitimate" and the court will issue custody and child support orders.
