Can I personally file a marriage annulment lawsuit if I am under 18 years old?

Even minors under 18 years old can directly file a marriage annulment lawsuit if certain requirements are met.

Under the Civil Act, marriage annulment is possible when there are certain reasons such as marriage of a minor, incest, bigamy, coercion, or deception.

Even if a minor married before reaching the marriageable age (18 years old), they can legally claim marriage annulment.

At this time, not only the minor party themselves but also their legal representative can file a marriage annulment lawsuit.

Also, when a legal cause for marriage annulment occurs, the marriage annulment lawsuit must be filed within 6 months of becoming aware of that fact, and if this period is exceeded, the annulment claim will not be recognized.

After the marriage annulment judgment is finalized, a marriage annulment notification must be made within 1 month to the competent city (district)/town/township office.

This notification can be made at the party's registration base, address, or current location, and must be made directly by the person who filed the marriage annulment lawsuit.

In conclusion, even if you are under 18 years old, if certain reasons are recognized, you can file a marriage annulment lawsuit directly or with the consent of your legal representative.
