That the party in whose behalf it is sought to have the marriage annulled was under the age of legal consent, and such marriage was contracted without the consent of his or her parents or guardian, or persons having charge of him or her; unless, after attaining the age of consent, such party for any time freely cohabits with the other as husband or wife;
2. That the former husband or wife of either party was living, and the marriage with such former husband or wife was then in force;
3. That either party was of unsound mind, unless such party, after coming to reason, freely cohabited with the other as husband or wife;

5. That the consent of either party was obtained by force, unless such party afterwards freely cohabited with the other as husband or wife;
