If there’s one thing that bothers me, there’s a time when my husband’s ex-girlfriend came to visit me before the wedding.

However, her husband was unfair, and Mr. A, who had deep trust in him, trusted her husband and proceeded with the marriage.

However, after the honeymoon, the husband disappeared. She disappeared without even going to work, but surprisingly, it was the police station where she found her missing husband. Her husband had been arrested after being accused of illegally filming and intimidating by her ex-girlfriend.

A asked her husband’s ex-girlfriend to drop the complaint for her husband. Her husband’s ex-girlfriend then reveals a nude video file of herself sent by her husband, claiming that her client is being deceived. A client who was shocked by her husband’s face she saw for the first time in the video. Her husband’s computer folder contained various pictures and videos of her former girlfriends.

Mr. A is preparing a lawsuit to annul the marriage to the fact that his affectionate husband was actually an ugly sex offender. Is it possible?

Lawyer Lee In-cheol, a lawyer who does not know the law (people who do not know the law) said, “People come to the lawyer’s office saying they have been deceived for various reasons and want to annul their marriage or annul their marriage.” “‘I was deceived. There are a lot of people who ask me about it, but canceling a marriage is not as easy as I thought.”

Lawyer Lee explained, “Our case law on annulment of marriage is very strict.”

He continued, “It is difficult to cancel a marriage if you deceive your financial ability. For example, if you only deceive that your annual salary is 50 million won but 100 million won, the reason for annulment will not be recognized.” “It could be a reason for cancellation,” he said.

In the case of actively deceiving documents such as educational background, occupation, marriage, or divorce status, the marriage can be canceled under strict conditions.

Lawyer Lee said, “A doctor in his 40s, who has not even had a history of sexual crimes, is being accused of meeting women by joining a marriage information company by manipulating the personal information of his driver’s license, marriage certificate, and professional license and taking a photo and submitting it. In the past, before obtaining a doctor’s license, there was a case where it was investigated that there was a history of being punished for violating the Act on the Punishment of Crimes of Quasi-rape and Sexual Violence and Protection of Victims (photographing using cameras, etc.).”

He continued, “Criminal history can be an important fact. Therefore, the failure to notify the criminal history in advance can also be a reason for the annulment of the marriage.” It has to be a case where it is acknowledged that it has a large impact on the married life in light of the relationship in life and would not have married if the person concerned had known such a fact.”

He continued, “It can be said that it is a very important fact to deceive a history of sexual crimes, so if you actively deceive this fact, as well as if you do not notify this fact, it can be a cause for annulment of the marriage. In order to receive alimony, you must have evidence such as documents, text messages, recordings, and memoranda to file a claim,” he advised.

Lawyer Lee added, “Even if you file a lawsuit after death, it will be difficult to receive full compensation, so you must carefully decide not to meet such a person.”

What about annulment, which deletes the marriage record itself?

Annulment and annulment of marriage have the meaning of denying the marriage itself as a reason before marriage or in the process of preparing for marriage. If the annulment of the marriage is recognized, the marriage is retroactively considered non-existent. However, in the case of annulment, the marriage is denied from the date of the annulment, and the effect is not retroactive to the past, and the effect is similar to that of divorce.

Article 815 (Annulment of Marriage) of the Civil Act stipulates that ‘when there is no agreement on marriage between the parties’ is a representative reason for invalidation.

Lawyer Lee said, “Typically, if a man and woman who has no intention of getting married in order to acquire nationality or to receive a house for newlyweds make a false marriage registration, the annulment can be recognized. A case of claiming deceit by being deceived by an important fact is not an annulment of the marriage, but is a case of ‘actively deceiving an important fact that can determine the marriage’.

“If you decide to file a marriage annulment suit, you should file a lawsuit promptly,” he said.

Article 823 of the Civil Act (Extinction of Claims for Revocation of Marriage due to Fraud or Coercion) In a marriage due to fraud or coercion, no request for annulment may be requested when three months have elapsed from the day the fraud was discovered or the compulsion was avoided.
