| What do you mean by "annulment"?
| Moon
I'm referring to the modern meaning of annulment -- that is a union which was
never really
legitimate to start with. It wasn't legitimate, then such a marriage does not
need a
divorce -- a tearing of an actual union; rather, it requires an annulment: a
statement
that it was never legitimate to start with. It is a modern concept -- not an
ancient one.
The idea of annulment in ancient days was the same as "divorce".
Today, the result of a divorce is that you still say you used to be married.
If your have
an annulment, then you would not even say that you used to be married -- the
marriage was
null and void to start with.
Best regards,
