The marriage is void if not solemnised with free will of proposed husband and wife. However there should not be any relationship established between both you which is meant for married couple only. If you have denied the marriage right from the beginning and did not take any advantage out of that marriage for which you were not forced after the commencement of your forceful marriage.
