I'm not sure of all the reasons annulment can occur but some of them make sense. If a person were under the influence of a drug or alcohol at the time of the wedding the can apply for annulment: If the marriage was never consumated: If the person blatantly lied, ie, used a fake name because he was still married to someone else. I know of one case where the marriage was annuled because of adultery. It basically claims that the marriage should never have taken place for some reason. A catholic priest could probably shed some light on it. I only say that because I think Roman Catholics have more rules laid down on the subject but I'm not sure. They could probably also put scriptures in place, however, I know of none.
