Question 1: Ben and Mary's Marriage
(a) Explain the Meaning of the Term “Voidable Civil
Marriage” (2 marks)
A voidable civil marriage is a marriage that is considered legally
valid until it is annulled by a court order. Unlike a void
marriage, which is invalid from the beginning, a voidable
marriage remains in effect until a party to the marriage seeks
and obtains a decree of nullity. Grounds for annulment must be
established for the marriage to be declared voidable.
(b) Name 10 Grounds on Which a Voidable Marriage Can
Be Set Aside (10 marks)
