Immediately File a Divorce petition for granting divorce. Hon'ble Family Court by the order declare the marriage null and void as soon as evidence produced before the Hon'ble Family Court. This is not a valid marriage.

हिंदू विवाह अधिनियम के अंतर्गत 18 साल से कम उम्र की शादी अवैध है कुछ शर्तों के आधार पर कानूनी रूप से यह विवाह वैध हो सकता है अगर उसकी आयु 18 वर्ष से पूरी नहीं हुई है और वह विवाह अवैध घोषित करने के लिए हिंदू मैरिज एक्ट की धारा 10 या 11 के अंतर्गत वाद दाखिल करके आप से तलाक ले सकती है

Hello dear client,
First of all tell me the real age of that girl and also the circumstances about the marriage.
And this marriage is null and void and illegal. So no need of divorce. If girl want to get rid of this problem, she need to file a complaint against in-laws and husband in police station or court.
May God help you...
All the best.
