Brittney Griner files to have marriage to Glory Johnson annulled

[DaddyChoc]

And then there's this...

Attorney says charges against Glory Johnson to be dismissed

not suprised... most "fights" are especially involving couples/friends due to the other one not forcing the prosecution of the situation

As to the charges being dropped against Glory - well, there you go. According to the lawyer, the prosecutor couldn't handle both individuals being both a victim and an aggressor, and therefore already have the "aggressor".

Which I guess means that in any fight (bar fight, whatever) only the person who started the fight gets charged?

Then again, this is Arizona.

No, no no, if you watch sports you know it is always the second person who responds who gets the foul.

I think annulment can be based on the marriage not being consummated. Now, how is THAT defined in this case?

That's one of the reasons but there are others. Plus, there are two types of annulments - the legal type and also one in the Catholic church.

I was actually a witness in an annulment for a friend of mine. The couple had divorced and he, my friend, wanted an annulment so he could remarry in the Catholic church. I had to find a nice way to say the woman was bat**** crazy (I TOLD him not to marry that loony-tune) but it was that she told me she never wanted children that sealed the deal for the annulment. Messy business all around, though.

I guess it is no surprise that there are as many screwed-up people in the LGBT community as in the straight community. These two confused souls, poster children for making bad decisions because you can, are a long way from being role models for LGBT people.

Agree with one proviso - sociologically I think you would expect any ostracized/marginalized/criminalized group within a society to exhibit a greater percentage of behavioral issues than the society at large. Luckily for the LGBT community that is changing, but they still face biases that are greater than the norm.

What you are talking about, Nan, is an annulment on the basis that the person was unable to enter into marital contract/commitment freely because of mental defect, lack of freedom of conscience, or previous commitment and therefore was not free to make make marital promises.
