Forcing for marriage

Anil yadav (Querist) 20 December 2017 This query is : Resolved
My younger brother in indian army. Currently he is unmarried.

For marriage we have sent photo of girl to my brother and he willing to meet her.
He meet girl in delhi and left for kashmir.

The girl family get my brother number and they calling him again and again. Soon they allow her daughter to talk with my brother. My bro also call her sometime.

This is clear that they are planning to convince my brother to marry, even my parents not agree.

Now my parents not agree to marry because kundali not matching. (many reasons)

My brother also agree with parents.

Now girl parents forcing us to marry girl. They said my brother meet girl so he must marry to her.

To marry, girl and boy meeting first then family members meet each other.

Is this right to force someone this way???? (sorry for bad English)

No one can force any person of the age of majority to do anything not even marry. You can refuse for marriage and move ahead.
These people cannot do anything legally unless you have taken any article/cash from them for the purpose of marriage proposal and as you say there was only a single formal meeting between the man and the woman and no engagement done in this case.

Either of the party cannot force other party for marriage.

you have to suffer the stupidity of not matching kundli before going so ahead.

They have no legal right to force marriage and your family has no moral right to play with their sentiments which you had done.

All tht they now have to do is to give a complaint of refusal to marry due to dowry issue and drag the entire family.

your brother being in Army once accused will not be promoted and in Army the length of service depends upon the rank picked. SO non-promotion may result in early discharge and pension after honourable acquittal.

The post by Mr. Sudhir Kumar is ringing alarms. If your brother also agrees then suggest that he should record all calls and build some irrefutable evidence.

Another Perspective; Subsequent to marriage the estranged spouse can get maintenance per provisions applicable to Army without civil courts.

Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Expert) 22 December 2017
I have shown him the worst could happen which they have to guard against. I never said marriage could still be forced upon the family.

They have full right to play with the reputation of the girl's family.

Further It is known fact that length of service in Armed Forces keep increasing with the rank. Once involved in criminal case (true/false) one is not promoted so no more additional years of service.

@ Mr. Sudhir Kumar,

Of course, only the worst can be expected from you and Kumar Doab, when you can get others posts deleted pinpointing the worst advice.of yours and of Kumar Doab. Why not directly suggest him to accept the marriage proposal to make them face the worst also of their lives.
