A Catholic in a bad marriage has four permissible options, not all of which necessarily apply.
- Annulment. Given that sacramental marriages are insoluble, this is a judicial finding that no sacramental marriage occurred. The terms usually used are defect of mind or character in one spouse that prevented a valid marriage from forming. Consummation is irrelevant (yay!).

My mother had her marriage to my father annulled on the no sacramental marriage ground. I was not pleased, though I feel better after reading that she didn't retroactively make me illegitimate at age 28.
