Voidable marriages (Australia)

Until 1975, some marriages in Australia were voidable under Australian family law.

On the other hand, a voidable marriage was considered a valid marriage until it was annulled by a judicial decree of nullity.

(repealed by the FLA) a marriage was voidable on one of four grounds.

Under the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth.)

This Act abolished prospectively voidable marriages.
