According the Wikipedia article on annulment [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annulment], getting one isn't all that easy. Assuming you're a regular couple and the marriage was fairly normal as well, the only reasons you could get an annulment were if:
1) The consent to the marriage was based on fraud or force
2) Your spouse concealed something important from you prior to your marriage (e.g. an STD, a drug addiction, etc.)
3) Your spouse went into the marriage planning to be unfaithful.
4) You or your spouse is physically incapable of providing for the other the duties required of a spouse (e.g. having sex)
If none of these apply (or any of the ones listed on the Wikipedia article), then you will probably have to get a divorce. Your best bet would be to consult a divorce attorney, either with or without your husband, and go from there. If you're lucky, you can get a fairly easy divorce with no fighting over assets. Especially if it's only been six weeks. If possible, talk to your spouse first.
Act now. Waiting will only make the whole thing more difficult.

Why don't you call an attorney or do some research online. I think that the sooner you do this the better off you'll be. Cause after a certain time period has passed it becomes more costly and more difficult.

Here is a quote from http://www.terry.co.uk/divorce1.html.
"To obtain a divorce on this ground English law insists that (a) that the marriage has broken down irretrievably and (b) that one of the parties to the marriage has behaved in such an unreasonable manner that the other finds it intolerable to live with him or her. Or, at least, that is what it requires if divorce is sought on the ground of unreasonable behaviour. Although this sounds rather a difficult thing to prove the reality of the matter is that the courts do not set a very demanding standard and in practice it is not normally too difficult to find some examples of "unreasonable behaviour" sufficient to satisfy a court that a marriage has broken down. The courts adopt a realistic attitude. They know that if one party to a marriage feels so strongly about it as to issue a divorce petition the marriage has irretrievably broken down so far as that person is concerned and it would be futile to pretend otherwise. The courts therefore adopt quite a relaxed attitude to the exact type of "unreasonable behaviour" which one has to allege in order to get the divorce. It is important to understand this."
Check it out the link. Seems to give very good advice for a quick divorce.

You obviously got married for a reason, your age suggests that you are possibly mature and were serious about it. So maybe you should discuss with your husband about what you find wrong with it and try and sort it out.
But yeah annulement would be quicker.
