This was a matter of German civil law, not Jewish religious law.

For a marriage to be annulled (eine Ehe für nichtig erklären), it meant that the marriage was invalid from the beginning and the couple should not have been permitted to marry.

The legal justifications for declaring a marriage as null and void were covered in paragraphs 1324 to 1328 of the German Civil Law Code (Bügerliches Gesetzbuch) of 1896.

This link https://de.wikisource.org/wiki/B%C3%BCrgerliches_Gesetzbuch._Viertes_Buch._Familienrecht#%C2%A7._1324. will take you to the German legal text. With Chrome or Edge browsers, you can then right-click with your mouse and choose to translate the page into English.

Paragraphs 1301 to 1322 cover other legal aspects of entering into a marriage.
