First of all i must tell you that since you are aware that someone is likely to commit forgery and will use forged documents. you must stop that person from committing crime. Prohibition of Child Marriage Act states that a girl can't marry before the age of 18, and a boy before 21. The section 11 of the Act says " Where a child contracts a child marriage, any person having charge of the child, whether as parent or guardian or any other person or in any other capacity, lawful or unlawful, including any member of an organisation or association of persons who does any act to promote the marriage or permits it to be sotemnised, or negligently fails to prevent it from being solemnised, including attending or participating in a child marriage, shall be punishable with rigorous imprisonment which may extend to two years and shall also be liable to fine which may extend up to one lakh rupees".

your friend will be prosecuted for filing forged and fabricated documents in court and will have to suffer the consequences one day. Let him enjoy for the time being but when the law catches he will be bleeding with no one to help not even his wife.
