According to the Family Code, under certain circumstances, a marriage may be declared invalid. That is, if a marriage is concluded contrary to the principle of voluntariness, it is recognized as invalid by the court.
According to the law, a marriage is considered invalid in the following cases:
- if one or both of the persons entering into marriage were forced into marriage;
- in cases of non-compliance with the marriageable age (the marriageable age for men and women is set at 18, but in some exceptional cases - in the case of pregnancy, childbirth, or emancipation, the khokim may reduce the age by decision by no more than one year);
- if one of the persons entering into marriage is already in another registered marriage;
- very close kinship relations (for example, between full or half siblings, adoptive parents and adoptive parents);
- if one of the participants in the marriage is declared legally incompetent by a court decision due to a mental illness or dementia;
- in the case of a fictitious marriage, that is, if the marriage was concluded without the intention of marriage, but only for official registration;
- if one of the spouses conceals a venereal disease or HIV infection from the other, the injured party applies to the court.
It should be noted that the recognition of a marriage as invalid cannot be carried out without a court decision - it can only be resolved through legal proceedings.
Such cases are one of the legal guarantees aimed at ensuring justice and a healthy environment in family relations.
