Answer:
No, a second marriage while still married to someone else is not valid. This situation can lead to charges of bigamy, which is marrying another person while still legally married. An annulment can declare that the first marriage was never valid, effectively voiding it as if it never existed. The duration of the marriage does not typically affect the ability to request an annulment, which can be more complex than a divorce.
