What are voidable grounds for a marriage and a civil partnership?

This varies from place to place, but generally they involve fraud or non-disclosure. If a marriage license was obtained for a minor with required parental or judicial consent, then the marriage license was obtained based on fraudulent representation. If one or both parties were intoxicated, drugged, coerced or under stress when married, then the marriage can be voided soon afterwards. If one party is permanently impotent or infertile and did not disclose that fact to the other party prior to the marriage, then the marriage can be voided soon afterwards. In the case of bigamy, there is no need to void the second marriage as it was never valid and merely a bigamous attempt at marriage.
