Hello,

Firstly, even if your marriage was not registered it is still a legal marriage under the Hindu marriage act.

In Section 5 of the Hindu Marriage Act 1955, there are some conditions laid down for a Hindu Marriage which must be fulfilled in case of any marriage between two Hindus which can be solemnized in accordance with the requirements of the Act.
If the consent to the marriage was obtained either by fraud or force, then there are grounds for an annulment.
Annulment refers only to making a voidable marriage null.
Therefore, you can get an annulment through court.

If you are afraid regarding the safety of your boyfriend then kindly ask him to file an FIR in the nearest police station.

Regards,
