In my jurisdiction annulment is certainly not a legal reality. Canon law has not been of any legal importance since the separation of church and state.
I do see now that some countries achieved the latter by importing some church laws into their legal system, so I suppose that's how in some western countries annulment is indeed still a reality. Amazing!
People no longer default to assuming that women should be full-time wives and moms. Women in the US no longer need their husband's permission to seek employment. Etc.
But the general pattern still shapes a great many social phenomenon and I think it is a serious ongoing problem, yes.
Annulment isn't a "thought." It's a legal reality. You don't typically seal contracts with "and then we have sex and the contract is null and void if that doesn't happen at least once."
