Forced registered marriage under special marriage act with fake docum


27-May-2023 (In Divorce Law)
One of my friend has been forcefully married to a guy under special marriage act. No actual marriage has been happened. They produced a fake certificate and registered the marriage as the marriage happened already. She is willing to get rid of this marriage. Please advice

Drafters should include a civil order for protection remedy for victims under threat of forced marriage or already in a forced marriage. The civil order for protection remedy should include the option for an emergency ex parte protection order. Laws should criminalize violations of protection orders. Drafters may apply much of the same theory on domestic violence to orders for protection in forced marriage cases: the goals are to afford protection to the victim through a speedy process that acts as an alternative to criminal prosecution. (See: Drafting Legislation on Domestic Violence, Orders for Protection, and Sample Orders for Protection, Stop VAW, The Advocates for Human Rights for information on orders for protection in domestic violence cases)

Immediately file a police complaint and have your friend file a case in family court to declare the marriage as null and void. this way, the document is declared as invalid and she is broken from that marriage vows. this is not divorce, but a declaration.
