If you are not legally married then you will not be able to get a legally recognised divorce, and you may not be able to get other orders from the Court which is dependent upon there being a legally recognised marriage, eg. No you cannot. The law says that no-one can be forced to marry. Both you and your husband must marry because you want to, of your own free choice, and not because you are being threatened or pressured by anybody. If either you or the man is being forced against your will into the marriage it will not be a legal marriage.
Nullity is different from getting a divorce.
We will look more closely at Nullity later in this leaflet. To marry without the consent of your parents you must be over 18 years old. The consent has to be given by the father. If he is dead or living in another district then the mother can give her consent. If you are over 15 and under 18 years old and your parents will not agree to your marriage then you can go to the Magistrates Court and ask the Magistrate to allow your marriage.
