Forced into marriage how to get out of it


11-May-2023 (In Divorce Law)
I have been in love with this guy for a year now. We are both Hindus. When he told his family about us, they immediately began to look for a girl. He fought in every way but they fixed his marriage. He told the girl's family everything about us, but his parents told the girl's side that he was lying and there was no relationship. They then threatened him emotionally saying that they would kill themselves if he didn't agree. He was forced into the marriage. It's been four days since the marriage, but he still calls me and cries and suffers and wants to know how to get out of it. Please help us.

If both the boy and the girl are major then they can take their own independent decision regarding their willingness to continue their marital relationship. They can file for divorce after the expiry of one year from the date of marriage. Thereafter you can marry him as per law if he still want you to be his life partner.

Both have to come out of their house and get it married in any temple and take photo, video and obtain Certificate from the Temple authorities for the marriage performed in presence of your friends and then get it registered your marriage in the Sub-Register office.

Hi,
You should contact the Women Cell of the Local Police of the city lodging a written complaint against her own parents for forcing her for the marriage for which she is not given her free consent without undue influence or force.
The woman can even file for domestic violence under the PWDV Act against her parents, brothers, other relatives wherein the Magistrate can pass ad interim order restraining the respondents from forced marriage, even give directions to the SHO of local Police station for providing complete protection to the woman in distress and prevent her forced marriage.

It's upto you guys what you decide but do not destroy the other girls life . If you people love each other you should come out and talk to the other girl and if you are adult you have a right of decision provided not objected by other girl who is legally wife of your lover now . Dont complicate situation more , talk to each other settle things soon as possible .
