Marriage Annulment Lawyers

Annulment of Marriage in Singapore

“PKWA Law offers friendly services and affordable fees in addition to legal excellence.”

– The Straits Times

A marriage annulment is a serious decision that requires sensitive legal guidance. Unlike a divorce, a successful annulment treats your marriage as if it never existed in the eyes of the law, restoring both parties’ marital status to ‘single.’ Our family lawyers at PKWA Law have extensive experience helping clients navigate this process with clarity, care, and professionalism. We are here to help you understand your legal options and take the next step with confidence.

Fixed Fees & A Free Initial Consultation

We believe that legal services for annulment should be affordable and transparent. That’s why our fees are fixed, clear, and transparent from the outset, with absolutely no hidden charges. To help you get started, we are pleased to offer a free, no-obligation initial consultation to answer your questions and assess your case.

Grounds for Annulment in Singapore

To annul a marriage, one party must file proceedings stating that the marriage is either void or voidable under the law.

Void Marriages

A marriage is void under Section 105 of the Women’s Charter if it does not meet the legal requirements to exist in the first place, such as:

• One person is already legally married.
• One party is under 18 and married without the required authorization.
• The parties are too closely related by blood.
• The marriage was not properly solemnised.
• The marriage took place without valid consent (e.g., due to duress, mistake, or a mental disorder).

Voidable Marriages

A marriage may be voidable under Section 106 of the Women’s Charter if there are specific issues within the marriage that allow it to be annulled, such as:

• The marriage was not consummated due to one or both parties’ incapacity or wilful refusal.
• The wife was pregnant by another man at the time of the marriage.

The Annulment Process & Timeline

Our lawyers will guide you through every step of the annulment process. If the matter is uncontested, the annulment process can take about 4 to 5 months, at the end of which you will receive a Certificate of Nullity. We work diligently to make the process as quick and straightforward as possible for you.
