1. I managed to pass behind some tall screens on which those ridiculously huge contemporary paintings, works of the utmost nullity, were hung, and crept cautiously round a group of cranky statues.
2. Any purported marriage contracted in a context of improperly gained consent is, since the Nullity of Marriages Act 1971, voidable.
3. Nullity of marriage must be carefully distinguished from divorce.
4. The law concerning nullity and divorce has been considerably reformed in recent years, and is now mostly governed by the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973.
5. Is this enough, particularly in the case of the operated transsexual, remembering that proceedings for a decree of nullity must now be instituted within three years of the date of the marriage?
6. Since the new constitution was enacted in 1937, the prohibition on divorce has become so strict that couples who have been granted a nullity decree by Roman catholic canonical tribunals have found that they may still not be recognized as single by the state, and are thus unable to remarry in the Republic.
7. It would also mean that the Nullity of Marriages Act, section 2(c), must be interpreted so that this type of fraud comes within its terms.
8. The effect of a decree of nullity, broadly speaking, is that the marriage is treated as if it had never existed.
9. Therefore, in the unlikely event that a ceremony of marriage is performed between an unoperated transsexual and someone who is unaware of the partner's condition, the remedy of a petition for nullity must suffice, grounded on the fact that the marriage is voidable because of the fraud of the other and the consequent lack of valid consent of the innocent party.
10. Yet Ormrod J. follows his own logic to conclude that April Ashley, in purely biological terms, is not a woman; yet biological terms are all that count, because there has to be someone who can perform the essential role of a woman (remember, the essential role is to be a woman, since marriage is the relationship between a man and a woman): therefore, for marriage purposes, April Ashley by law is a man, and there is no marriage.45 No way out of this particular self-made legal thicket is provided, unfortunately, by an amendment to the Nullity of Marriages Act, passed into law as section l(c).
11. The law of nullity covers not only cases where the purported marriage was void, but also those where the marriage, though initially valid, is voidable, and thus may be set aside.
12. Therefore it is suggested that for the husband whose outrage forecloses the possibility of a mere divorce proceeding, a clear case exists for having the courts carve out an exception to the three-year rule so as to allow a suit to be brought for nullity through fraud or mistake.56 To the protesting reader who may feel that this spurious reasoning leads us into the realm of nonsense, the only answer is that it is the purpose of this paper to provoke a re-examination of certain fundamental values and ideas.
13. Its principal avowed aim was to give legislative form to the decision, contrary to the recommendation of the Law Commission, 46 and thereby allow the parties in these "tragic cases" the dignity of a decree of nullity so that, if thought fit, provision for ancillary relief could be made by the court, and the unsavoury examination of their sexuality, rendered necessary if the only recourse were a declaration of status, could be avoided.
