In the above case his parents knew he was a homo.

So he must have known too.

Due diligence would mean, for marriage, to have all kinds of discussions while dating about all types of topics, meeting their family, friends, etc (as we've discussed previously).  Then there's spiritual due diligence where you pray and ask God to show you why this person is/isn't for you.  Most people let their emotions control the show, as Elvis sang "...Only fools rush in..."

If a skilled deceiver wants to deceive you then the chances are they can.  Pre-internet it was even easier.

Sorry, I missed this part.  Certainly this would make a compelling case for annulment.

I agree with you, on the natural level, which is why you pray.  I firmly believe, without a shadow of a doubt, that if one approaches dating with an open heart to God's will, with prayer and patience, and a desire to find a spouse that will help you to get to heaven, God will answer you.

From your answers above it appears that a child (or I would assume a pregnancy, even if the child is lost) lessens his case for the marriage being invalid.  If children are conceived there was enough sex, even if that amounted to once per year.
.
I usually try to read to the end of a thread before replying, but it seems you all had too much free time today. : )

Regarding the quote above, that first child isn't so much a sign of "enough sex must be happening", but rather is a reason in and of himself to not annul the marriage. Even one child deserves and father and a mother, and once that child is born, the intention of one of the spouses to procreate becomes a lesser concern. The departing spouse's argument would essentially be, "I wish to abandon this child so that I might possibly have more with someone else."
