nullity of marriage

Read a random definition: common at large

A quick definition of nullity of marriage:

Nullity of marriage means that a marriage is not valid because it is either void on its face or has been voided by a court order. A void marriage, like an incestuous marriage, is invalid from the beginning and does not require any formalities to end. The essentials of a valid marriage are parties legally capable of marrying, mutual consent or agreement, and an actual contracting in the form prescribed by law. Marriage has important consequences in many areas of the law, such as torts, criminal law, evidence, debtor-creditor relations, property, and contracts.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Nullity of marriage refers to the invalidity of a marriage that is void on its face or has been voided by court order. A void marriage, such as an incestuous marriage, is invalid on its face and requires no formality to end.

Example: If two siblings get married, their marriage is considered void from the beginning because it is incestuous. They do not need to go through a formal process to end the marriage because it was never valid in the first place.

This example illustrates the definition of nullity of marriage by showing that a marriage can be considered void if it violates certain legal requirements, such as the prohibition against incestuous marriages. In such cases, the marriage is considered invalid from the beginning and does not need to be formally ended through a divorce

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
