Yes father can pray for cancellation as she is now married daughter and her husband is liable to maintain her.

Advocate M.Bhadra   20 March 2013

marriage of minor girl is void as she is not attain 18 to marry,so liability of pay maintenance to her father.

               “India: 21 for males and 18 for females. If any partner(s) engages in marriage at a younger age, (s)he can ask for the marriage to be declared void / annulled. 

               That it is often ignored with impunity is besides the point. There is at least a legal provision to challenge such a marriage. There are a number of instances when such breach is reported and action taken which receive wide coverage in our media. All attempts are being made by various organisations and methods to stop such below age marriages from taking place.
