(a) Explain the meaning of the term "voidable civil marriage". (2)
A voidable civil marriage is a legally valid marriage that can be declared null
and void by a court order due to specific circumstances that existed at the
time of the marriage. Unlike a void marriage, which is invalid from the outset
and has no legal effect, a voidable marriage is considered valid until it is
annulled by a court. Grounds for annulment must be proven, and until the
court decrees otherwise, the marriage remains legally binding.
(b) Name seven grounds on which a voidable marriage can be set aside. (7)
A voidable marriage can be set aside on several grounds, including:
1. Non-consummation: The marriage has not been consummated due to
the inability or refusal of one party.
