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.
Ecclesiastical annulments are different. There is no precise time limit and annulments are considered on a case by case basis. An ecclesiastical annulment must be accompanied by a civil annulment or divorce to dissolve the marriage legally. In some cases marriages of very long standing can be annulled so a divorced parishioner can get married again in the church although availability of annulments vary by country and the church seeks the consent of the former spouse. More annulments are granted in the United States than in other countries.
An annulment can be made at any stage, because the point of an annulment is that there was no valid wedding ever performed.
Ie. there may have been a wedding, but because it wasn't valid (for example, one of the partners wasn't sincere in their promise to be faithful), in the eyes of the Church the two parties were never validly married.
So an annulment could take place after one month or after 50 years. Answer: A civil annulment of a marriage is one which can be granted for a number of reasons. Each country, province or state has its laws governing civil annulments.
In a way, when one or both parties to the marriage have died, at which point the marriage has ceased and there is not normally any reason to seek an annulment. Aside from this, there is no limit.
You must file an annulment no later than one year after the marriage. You must have legal grounds to the annulment, simply because it did not work out wouldn't work out.
You will have to be married for at least one full year.
As this question was posted in the Catholicism category I will assume you are speaking of Catholic annulment. There is no time limit for obtaining a Declaration of Nullity.

a marriage can only be annulled if the couple have not consumated that marriage with having sex after the marriage ceremony
No. Surely by your mother being late, it means dead. A dead person is not married.
Henry VIII had a total of four marriages annulled. First, he annulled his marriage to Catherine of Aragon in 1533. Henry VIII then had his marriage to Anne Boleyn annulled in May of 1536. Next, he annulled his marriage to Anne of Cleves in 1540. Henry's final marriage annulment occured in 1542, dissolving his marriage to Catherine Howard.
No, she never remarried or had lovers (at least as far as we know).
no she did not
It depends, if the Methodist woman's marriage was annulled in a civil court, or if she was divorced and annulled in a protestant church: it would still need to be annulled by the Catholic Church. The Church *always* defends the bond, except in rare open and shut cases. You need to speak to a priest about this. If the woman's marriage is annulled by the Catholic Church, THEN you must receive permission from the Bishop for a mixed marriage, or she could convert.
Second - Ann Boleyn marriage annulled and later was executedFifth - Catherine Howard marriage annulled and later was executed

If minors (under the age of 18) run away and get married the parents can have it annulled (the marriage is no longer.) Also, in some States if a couple gets married and have not lived together for a year they too can have the marriage annulled. Other couples may run off to Reno for a 'quickie divorce.'
No, not really
Catherine of Aragon was the first wife of Henry VIII. This marriage was annulled by the king in 1533.
When a marriage has been annulled it is considered as never having happened, at least from a sacramental point of view. Where the original spouse or the prospective spouse comes from is irrelevant. Those who have had a marriage annulled by the church are free to marry, period.
