marriage at the age of 12 is not valid as per law, but we have to see the custom prevailing in your area.... and you can refuse the marriage untill unless you have not accepted the marriage or cohabitated with her as husband and wife.... still you can refuse the marraige on certain grounds prescribed in the act or otherwise you have to take divorce one you have accepted the marriage ..... so contact us as soon as possible....

Hello,
Your's being a voidable marriage, you very much have a legal recourse which you may adhere to by instituting a petition for nullity of marriage. Kindly refrain from remarrying without getting a legal nullity of the first marriage. For any further query you may contact me.
