Dear Antony,
Null and void means the marriage is not valid in the eye of law.
Voidable means unless and until the marriage is declared as void by a court of law, it is valid.
Section 25 of SPA deals with voidable marriages.

null & void = void ab initio = void ipso jure
marriage not valid since from inception - no liabilities whatsoever - neither delay nor conduct impose bar on decree (Halsbury - edn 4 - vol 3) - getting formal declaration from court is optional (not must.)
voidable
marriage is valid for all purposes till annuled by court - 1 party can file petition for annulment
