She should contact the Women Cell of the Local Police of the city lodging a written complaint against her own parents for forcing her for the marriage for which she is not given her free consent without undue influence or force. 
The woman can even file for domestic violence under the PWDV Act against her parents, brothers, other relatives wherein the Magistrate can pass ad interim order restraining the respondents from forced marriage, even give directions to the SHO of local Police station for providing complete protection to the woman in distress and prevent her forced marriage.
