The girl may have to be patient as if she will said no she may face a hostile family. Either she may quietly tell the aged person that she is not interested in marriage as of now as she is minor/ is having liking for someone else. Even if family is adamant to marry her then she can approach Women Cell of Police of her area who will ensure that no minor gets married. But making complaint against her family can result into hostile attitude of all the family member so she should take decision after thinking on all aspect.
