Yes, you can file a petition under section 25 of the special marriage act 1954 for annullment of marriage if the marriage was done under coercion and without consent. You need to file petition before the family court to get the decree in your favour. There are many supreme court cases regarding declaring the marriage as null and void if performed without free consent.

Hello reader, you have the right to seek a decree of nullity (annulment) from the competent District Court. Consent obtained by force, fraud, or without your knowledge makes the marriage voidable. The Court, after examining the facts and evidence, can declare such a marriage as null and void.
