Answer:
Tex. Fam. Code § 6.109 states about the concealed Divorce. This reads as follows:
“(a) The court may grant an annulment of a marriage to a party to the marriage if:
(1) the other party was divorced from a third party within the 30-day period preceding the date of the marriage ceremony;
(2) at the time of the marriage ceremony the petitioner did not know, and a reasonably prudent person would not have known, of the divorce; and
(3) since the petitioner discovered or a reasonably prudent person would have discovered the fact of the divorce, the petitioner has not voluntarily cohabited with the other party.
(b) A suit may not be brought under this section after the first anniversary of the date of the marriage.”
(1) the other party was divorced from a third party within the 30-day period preceding the date of the marriage ceremony;
(2) at the time of the marriage ceremony the petitioner did not know, and a reasonably prudent person would not have known, of the divorce; and
(3) since the petitioner discovered or a reasonably prudent person would have discovered the fact of the divorce, the petitioner has not voluntarily cohabited with the other party.
(b) A suit may not be brought under this section after the first anniversary of the date of the marriage.”
