Those are cases where there was nothing wrong with the kiddushin, and
only years later do we decide that we want to annul them, because of
circumstances that didn't exist at the time.  But R Broyde writes
explicitly that it is ma'asim bechol yom (not literally, of course)
to annul marriages based on mekach ta'us, and that he has personally
participated in such annulments.
