Dear client, Yes your girlfriend can file divorce case against her husband on the cruelty ground. But condition is that she can file divorce case against her husband after one year of marriage. If your girlfriend husband is agree for divorce than in that case both of them will file divorce by mutual consent. Dear client for more clarification u can contact me and I m happy to help u.

it is a settled position of law that a girl or a guy cannot be forced to marry against their consent. if it has already happened, you would need sufficient proof to show that the consent was obtained through force, coercion.
