Can my husband annul the marriage if I was underage?
Full Question:
I live in Minnesota with my husband. We are 16 and 21 years old respectively. He was unaware about my age when we got married. We even made love a couple of times after which he got to know about my age. Now he wants to annul our marriage. Is it possible?

Answer:
Per Minnesota Statute §518.04:
“No marriage shall be adjudged a nullity on the ground that one of the parties was under the age of legal consent if it appears that the parties had voluntarily cohabited together as husband and wife after having attained such age; nor shall the marriage of any person who lacks the mental capacity to make decisions be adjudged void after restoration to reason, if it appears that the parties freely cohabited together as husband and wife after such restoration.”
