The Requirements of Annulment in Singapore
                     The Requirements of 
Annulment in Singapore
A legal process known as an annulment is used to end a marriage and declare it null, 
meaning the marriage never actually happened. An annulment also terminates your 
marriage, just like a divorce. An annulment, on the other hand, indicates that your 
marriage never happened. Contrary to a divorce, which dissolves a marriage without 
acknowledging its prior existence.
Singapore's Requirements for Annuling a Marriage
Can I Legally Dissolve my Marriage here 
if I'm not a Singaporean?
You can have your null or voidable 
marriage annulled in Singapore 
regardless of nationality. 
However, you and your husband must 
be residing in Singapore when you begin 
the process of annulment in Singapore.
The Deadline for Requesting a Marriage 
Annulment
If your marriage is voidable, you must file for an annulment within three years of getting 
hitched.
Unless you claim your marriage is null and void because one party refused to consummate 
the union or both parties could not, it has not been consummated. You may file for an 
annulment regardless of how long you have been married, only if you do so for this 
purpose.
There is no deadline by which you must submit an application to have your marriage 
declared null and void.
Proof that your Marriage is Null and/or Voidable
You must first provide enough proof that your marriage is invalid or voidable to annul it.
The court may decline to issue an annulment, for instance, if you allege that your marriage 
is voidable because your spouse refused to consummate the union, but you cannot provide 
sufficient proof of this.
But, even if you can provide sufficient proof that your marriage is null and void, a court may 
still refuse to annul your marriage if the following conditions are met:
• Although you had the option to dissolve the marriage, your actions led your husband to 
assume that you would not;
• Giving your husband an annulment would be unfair.
Moreover, keep in mind that when requesting an annulment in Singapore, you must be 
truthful. On December 22, 2020, a man was sentenced to one week in prison for falsely 
claiming to the court that he and his wife had not legally married to obtain an annulment.
