I sincerely believe it isn't dead yet, though some progress has been made.
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."
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!
