If the girl is minor then the marriage is legally void and the criminal proceedings will be initiated against the bridegroom and all the person who had been a witness in the void marriage. Further, if the bride has lodged the complaint stating that the marriage is happened against her wishes then it will be a severe offence. Otherwise there is no liability on the behalf of witness.
