érvénytelenítését

érvénytelenítését is the Hungarian word for "invalidation" or "annulment." It refers to the process of making something legally void, null, or of no effect. This can apply to various contexts, such as contracts, elections, marriages, or legal decisions. The core idea is that something that was previously considered valid is now declared to be without legal standing or force.

In contract law, érvénytelenítését might occur if a contract was formed under duress, fraud, or if it violates public policy. The invalidation means the parties are no longer bound by its terms, and any actions taken under the contract may need to be reversed. For elections, érvénytelenítését could happen if there are significant irregularities or widespread fraud that call the legitimacy of the results into question. This often leads to a new election or a recount.

In family law, the annulment of a marriage, often referred to as érvénytelenítését, declares that the marriage never legally existed from its inception. This is distinct from divorce, which ends a valid marriage. Grounds for annulment typically include issues like bigamy, incest, or lack of consent at the time of the ceremony. The legal consequences of érvénytelenítését aim to restore the parties to their pre-marriage status as much as possible. The specific procedures and grounds for érvénytelenítését are governed by Hungarian law.
