About this statute

This provision sets marriage conditions, who may marry, who may perform the marriage, and when a marriage is valid. Section 9 says when a marriage may be annulled, who may bring the case, and the time limits for doing so. If a marriage is annulled and one spouse was in good faith while the other knew or should have known the annulment ground, the first-mentioned spouse may be awarded compensation. This section gives certain spouses and heirs a right to act after a spouse’s death, sets a 6-month deadline for those claims, and says spouses can get separation or divorce by agreement. A spouse may seek separation or divorce on several grounds, including after 6 months of separation, after 2 years of separation due to disagreement, or in cases of adultery, violence, or sexual abuse, subject to stated time limits and exceptions.
