If you are being abused, you should be aware that there is help available to you from a number of sources: you can call 800-799-SAFE (7233) or visit www.pcadv.org
In Pennsylvania, annulment is granted only in a limited set of circumstances. These might include bigamy, lack of capacity to marry, or where the marriage was procured by fraud or duress. In many cases, even with a short marriage, the remedy is still divorce.
