That would totally depend on why you as a couple have no children. The assumption is always that you are married and should not seek to have an annulment unless grave cause for concern about the validity of your marriage arises. In this particular case many things must be considered and the relevant information brought to the attention of your parish priest.
The primary purpose of marriage is to bring forth children and to help save one another's souls through the sanctity of the family and mutual love. The following may be submitted for scrutiny concerning the validity of a marriage:
* If it was never your intention to have children, this could be grounds for an annulment.
* If one or both of the partners were sterile and knew so, this can be brought to the attention of your priest. * If the marriage was never consummated.
There will be great difficulty in proving your intent for the first point unless you have a few witnesses of your disposition or a written document signed and dated. The sacrament automatically provides the intention to do as the Church does even if you do not verbally declare it, thus, when you marry, your action of taking vows is a declaration that you are going to have a family with children. Thus a hard piece of evidence must be presented for an annulment on this basis, proving that you, in fact, did not have the intention implicit in the sacrament of marriage and in the exchanging of vows. The second point would also require evidence, such as a file from your doctor regarding sterility or inability.
The following are not grounds for an annulment even if you have no children: * If one or both of the partners has become sterile either by accident, illness or surgical intervention since becoming married. * If the couple simply has not been able to produce children. * If the couple decided to have no children after they got married or simply never got around to it due to career or lifestyle. * If the couple had no children because of the use of Birth Control or abortion. After making some notes about your marriage in relation to the above you should then approach your parish priest and present your case if you have concerns about the validity of your marriage.

define voidable marriage and explain the legal grounds of their annulment?
important to note that the grounds for annulment can vary significantly depending on the jurisdiction, and the process for obtaining an annulment can also differ. In general, however, the party seeking an annulment typically needs to file a petition with the court and provide evidence supporting their claim for annulment. If the court finds that the grounds for annulment exist, it can declare the marriage void ab initio (from the beginning), effectively erasing it as if it never existed legally.
