It was me who sent Meela the info re church annulment.

She was 20 when she marred, and pregnant. Her family arranged the marriage and she went along with it, believing she had no option but to accept their view. Thus she was not exercising a free choice to marry. As I see it, that means the marriage was invalid. Had she told the priest what she really wanted he would not have performed the ceremony.
Quote " The consent must be an act of the will of each of the contracting parties, free of coercion or grave external fear"


Her husband was 18 and, although I do not know, I gather that he too was not acting as he wanted.

I understand that it's possible to ask for annulment in the court (i.e. divorce in reality) even though having been refused previously, if one has different grounds.

I know any advice, especially from personal experience, would be most helpful for Meela.
