In Michigan, the grounds for Annulment are: 1) bigamy; or 2) marriage to a close relative; or 3) one party is mentally incompetent or mentally insane; or 4) one party is not of sufficient age; or 5) fraud or force was used; or 6) one party has syphilis or gonorrhea and fails to disclose it to their partner; or 7) one party cannot have children and knew of it and hid it from the other party. Unless you meet one of those grounds, you cannot get an annulment.
