The basic difference between the two lies in the fact that the former is a legal proceeding to obtain a decree that the marriage was invalid from the very beginning, whereas a divorce proceeding is initiated to end a valid marriage. In short, in a divorce, the court relies on the fact that there is a valid marriage, but through a divorce decree, stops the valid marriage from continuing. In case of annulment, the court assumes that whatever happened was not a legal marriage and there is no need of termination of marriage. All that is required, is to declare the union of the couple as invalid. Now, you know the basic difference between annulment and divorce, which are law terms, that can be confusing for many.
