Illinois Compiled Statutes - Full Text
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.
(750 ILCS 5/301) (from Ch. 40, par. 301)
Sec. 301.
Declaration of Invalidity - Grounds.) The court
shall enter its judgment declaring the invalidity of a marriage
(formerly known as annulment) entered into under the following
circumstances:
(1) a party lacked capacity to consent to the marriage at the
time the marriage was solemnized, either because of mental
incapacity or infirmity or because of the influence of alcohol,
drugs or other incapacitating substances, or a party was induced
to enter into a marriage by force or duress or by fraud involving
the essentials of marriage;
(2) a party lacks the physical capacity to consummate the marriage
by sexual intercourse and at the time the marriage was solemnized the
other party did not know of the incapacity;
