She has to remain bold and firm and should say no to marriage. As per Indian practice, she cannot be married off if she says no when asked for her consent to marry some one. Let her take help of her other relatives to convince her parents against the plan of marriage.

No girl can be forced for marriage under law and girl can file complaint against all parents for forceful marriage and further blackmailing I S also crime and further government has also strictly instructions for education of girl child and it would be creative of Human Rights so approach them and live a educated life since education cannot be thefted.
