The grounds for annulment of marriage are the following: lack of parental consent, unsoundness of the mind, marriage through fraud, force, intimidation or undue influence, physical incapacity of either party to consummate the marriage, and affliction of ***ually transmissible disease found to be serious and incurable (Article 45, Family Code of the Philippines).
On the other hand, a petition for declaration of nullity should be filed in case of void marriages. The grounds for declaration of nullity of marriage are the following: lack of capacity of either or both of the parties, lack of authority of solemnizing officer, lack of marriage license, bigamous or polygamous marriage, contracted through mistake of one on the identity of the other, void marriage under Article 53 of the Family Code (Article 35, id.), psychological incapacity of either or both parties (Article 36), incestuous marriages (Article 37), and void marriages by reason of public policy (Article 38). Hence, your marriage may be terminated only if any of the aforementioned grounds is present.
Malinaw sa mga yan na Art.36 or psychological incapacity lang kasi pwede maging contestable sa court. The rest are clear cut and hindi mo madadaya if proper investigation is to be conducted.
Kaya your point na may divorce dapat is true as far as the other 22 grounds are now approved by the House of Representative.
