Yes, you can file petition for nullity of Marriage if the marriage was not consummated. (Consummated means physical relation in between husband and wife after valid marriage). Nullity of marriage can be filed within one year from the date of marriage not after it. Therefore, immediate consult with Advocate and discuss it in brief.
