Annulment Petition Improperly Denied.

In the case of Davidson v. Davidson, the Virginia Court of Appeals, in an unpublished opinion, ruled that the trial court improperly denied a woman’s petition to annul her bigamous marriage.  The woman married her husband before his divorce was final, making their marriage a bigamous union.  A bigamous marriage is absolutely void in Virginia.  It didn’t matter that the women asked for and received a false marriage certificate from the pastor who performed the marriage ceremony after the marriage ceremony.
