(2)
A voidable civil marriage is a marriage that is considered valid
until it is annulled by a court order. Unlike a void marriage,
which is considered invalid from the outset, a voidable marriage
is treated as legally binding until one of the parties successfully

issues present at the time of marriage, such as fraud, duress, or
incapacity.
(b) Name 10 grounds on which a voidable marriage can be
