Not consumating a marriage is not an automatic ground for an annulment unless it was due to impotence (i.e. one of the spouses is permanently unable to engage in sexual intercourse). That having been said, you did not give much by way of details regarding your situstion. At this point, you should consult directly with a local divorce attorney.
