Annulled is much like a divorce, but stronger, it is more like the marriage never happened, it was voided.

Not really a fake marriage, although some fraudulent marriages are annulled. An annulment voids the marriage. Cases where marriages should not have been sanctioned as legal are often annulled.

Probably worth mentioning here that a marriage can be *religiously* annulled without being *legally* annulled. The requirements for a *legal* annulment are much stricter than a religious one.

I've worked in the courts for six years, and I've only seen one legal annulment—a case where the groom disappeared on his way home from the wedding reception and the bride never saw him again (he was okay, he just took off to his native country rather than coming home to his mother's house, where the bride had been going to move in). But I know plenty of people who've had religious annulments, which are usually done after a legal divorce.

They want to know about annulled marriages the same way they want to know about expunged criminal records—even if you went through a legal process to make it "like it never even happened," it still actually happened and they want to know.
