Is that marriage legal?

Sunny (Querist) 14 September 2015 This query is : Resolved
My gf was forced to marry with a guy without her consent by her parents. Her parents took her signature on marriage papers and filed them in court. But from that day that guy is not living with her. The guy lives in USA and the girl lives in India. It's been over a year that they are married according to court but they have not met and not living together. Is this marriage a legal one? Now she wants to get married to me and even I want to get married to her. If that forceful marriage is legal then what steps should I take to get married to her? She belongs to Muslim community and I belong to Buddhist community.

Was that a court marriage?

If it was a court marriage, you can not marry her without divorce.

@ PS dhingra. Yes it was a court marriage. But then it's been over year n half they both hav not been living together. That guy went to USA after few days of their marriage and the girl is here in India.

Forget about any legal step to make an illegal marriage, except after grant of legal divorce to your gf..
