This is like opening the floodgates when the water level is high. You run the risk of tearing down the doors. The Synods third proposed reform on the process of annulment is that of “administrative procedures” rather than judicial ones so if a supposed spouse testified that they had never held the marriage bond to be indissoluble, and there is no legal evidence in the case but the word of the spouses, and the marriage is certainly null, then the bishop could declare the marriage null it is certified that those people are honest, and their witness credible. If you cant trust their marriage vows, made willingly in public with witnesses and in front of a priest, then why would you trust their witness as credible?
