This is illegal act in the Indian law. Under marriage act valid age of marry is 18. And no one can force any girl for marry. You should file a police complaint and go in the women cell. All of these case is hendel by women cell.
The marriage is void ab initio. The girl was underage when she was forcefully married by her father.
