Forced marriage.. what to do now !!

hi..

My name is Rupali.. There is a big problem in my friend's life.

She is Muslim and in this year's feb. she got engaged against her will with a boy from abroad.

Boy's family was in touch with her mother's brother and his wife (MAMA-MAMI). Her mama mami want to set their daughter's marriage in this boy's family. So they agreed to marry my friend to that boy.

My friend always denied for marriage but few days ago boy's family came to india and filed a case against my friend's mother, that she is not allowing her for marriage. And her Mama-mami also helped boy's family this time.

So my friend have to accept the boy against her will just to save her mom. Now it's been few days boy's family behaving nicely with her. But she don't want to remain married with this boy. She have few weeks in india. After that they will take her abroad. She may come to her house for couple of days before she leaves.

What can she do now?

please please please help

In your friend's problem, You never stated that your fried got married with the boy, who stayed abroad. Only engagement was performed. And even the parents of said boy have no right to file any case against your friend's mother. If marriage was not performed, how your friend can go abroad with the boyfriend and his parents. If your friend is not interested to remain married with the so called boyfriend, it is better to expose openly, so as to avoid further problems if any.

is this really your friends story. or your own story, i think you are writing under the disguise of your friend. and anyway. forced marriages never work. but couldnt she speak out when she was getting married. was her mouth tied up? now all of a sudden she wants to get separate from the husband. and what does the husband want? is he willing to break off the marriage or is he against this breakup? if he is not willing to break up, if will be difficult for her to break up from this marriage. secondly, after marriage, now she thinks of breakup?, is she eyeing a big amount as alimony?????

No body can force and threat anybody to marry somebody,if they do they will commit offence under IPC and your marriage will be not valid in the eye of law if you produce the relevant proofs regarding such force,coercion and fraudulent attempt to marry you.

The value of freedom is measured by the cost of struggle,If you need freedom from suffering then you have to become a fighter ….as no other option.

I do not think that what you are stating here is possible in today's times. No one can force a person to get married. Just ask her to approach the police and matter is over.
