Traditionally the law of nullity of marriage is concerned with the impediments to marriages. On the basis of impediments, destructive impediments and obstructive impediments, the notion of void and voidable marriages was developed in the Ecclesiastical law. This distinction was carried over to Common law even after the Ecclesiastical Courts ceased to have jurisdiction in marital cases. This distinction has been carried over all throughout and now into the newest legislation in the series, the Matrimonial Causes Act, 1973.
