Sirf 4–5 papers par sign kar dene se Sikh/Anand Karaj marriage automatically valid nahi ho jaati; ceremonies, consent aur applicable law ke facts dekhna zaroori hai. Woh papers marriage registration form, affidavit, consent/declaration ya other marriage documents ho sakte hain papers dekhe bina exact nahi bata sakte; agar uski consent nahi thi, toh immediately family/marriage lawyer se legal options discuss kare.

Wo 4-5 papers probably court marriage papers the jispe unhone signs karwaya hai apki friend se.. bohot easy hai if she has a phone then ask her to get in touch with us.. Because even if shadi ke papers pe sign ki hai but Gurudwara jaake shadi karna zyaada important vidhi anusar.. If there’s any help you need I’ll be available..

Forced marriage may be challenged depending on the facts and applicable personal law. The 4–5 papers signed may be marriage registration documents or other declarations. Review them urgently and assess remedies for annulment or divorce.

if the marriage is solemnized forcefully, then she has multiple legal remedies available in the court of law. however it depends upon your case how you want to proceed with it. you need to take immediate legal actions against this situation. I'll suggest you to contact an advocate for legal proceedings if you are from Mumbai contact me on briefsandlegalsolutions@gmail com
