If you were legally unable to make the marriage decision at the time of entering the arrangement (such as being drunk, legally insane, or underage), fraud/deception on the part of your partner (such as an existing marriage), a partner having murdered their previous spouse or having been forced against one's will to agree to the marriage.

They can be different from state to state, but whether you can have children, hiding something from your spouse are usually national reasons you can get an annulment.

There are only specific reasons for it. One of the reasons could be a mental situation, by this I mean you could be unstable. The second situation could be physical consideration, by this I mean you are unable to have intercourse. The third situation for annulment is if the person is already married at the time.

The first thing would be if you were in an arranged marriage and both you and the partner are not happy. Secondly there would be if you got married for all the wrong reasons where you both did not love one another but are only friends. Marrying someone at the time when one or both may have been intoxicated.

One or both parties not of legal age to marry, related, already married, impotence, not mentally able to enter a contract, duress, or fraud.

It's going to vary from state to state, but common reasons are insanity, deception, adultery, and being under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the wedding. Some states allow an annulment if you found out your spouse had killed his previous spouse in order to marry you!
