§ 518.04 — Insufficient Grounds for Annulment
Plain-Language Summary
Limits when a marriage can be annulled. If a person was underage when married but continued living with their spouse after reaching legal age, the marriage cannot be annulled on that basis. The same applies if a person lacked mental capacity but continued living as spouses after regaining capacity.
518.04 INSUFFICIENT GROUNDS FOR ANNULMENT.
No marriage shall be adjudged a nullity on the ground that one of the parties was under the age of legal consent if it appears that the parties had voluntarily cohabited together as spouses after having attained such age; nor shall the marriage of any person who lacks the mental capacity to make decisions be adjudged void after restoration to reason, if it appears that the parties freely cohabited together as spouses after such restoration.
