First u give her notice for restitution of conjugal right u/s 9 A of Hindu marriage act. If she don't respond to that then u can file divorce petition in the court of law for dissolution of marriage. Regards

You have stated repeatedly that it is a legal marriage if that is assumed then he has to file for divorce there is no provision for cancelling the marriage. It is advisable to meet an advocate with all marriage documents to verify the validity of the marriage. Even if not valid the girl also has rights she can ask for as both had a marriage like relation.

Hi

In this case your friend can file nullity petition before the family court.
The said petition has limitation under the provisions of relevant laws.
Therefore it is to be filled in reasonable time from the date of alleged marriage
