(1) When either party thereto had a wife or husband living at the time of such marriage.
(2) When the parties thereto are first cousins or any nearer of kin to each other, whether of the whole or half blood, whether by blood or adoption, computing by the rules of the civil law, except that when the parties are first cousins by adoption only, the marriage is not prohibited or void. [Amended by 1989 c.647 §1]

As a practical matter filing for an annulment involves almost the same amount of paper work and the same filing fee as filing for a divorce in a short term marriage. There is even a short form divorce called a summary dissolution which you an probably use if you guys don't own real estate because you probably meet the other criteria. Either way you can pick up printed forms at the court house for a very small fee - long or short form - and some county courts even have the forms on line for a free download - pay the filing fee - and get out of this marriage very quickly. Oregon even abolished the 90 day waiting period - all you have to do is serve the guy and 30 days later file you final paper work. I doubt he will have any grounds to object that would hold up and since it's no fault, he can't prevent you from getting a divorce.
