Void marriage

Don't file false 498 please. 

Please wait for the what the judge says, don't be in a hurry after filing a case.

she has ruined the life of herself + her husband .

Whether the marriage is consummated or non-consummated, the marriage cannot be annuled, because just by mere non-consummation, marriages would not become invalid.  There should be a component of impotency on the part of opposite party.  As per the present law, she will not be entitled to divorce decree, as long as the boy does not agree.  Ask your friend not to be haughty and live happy life with the boy as the marriage appears to be love marriage.

@Priya - Very Sorry If I am straight forward.

Marriage is Sacred. And your friend or you is making fun of it and it is not a toy's play.

Tomorrow if your friend doesn't like the marriage that has been set up by her parents then what shall she do?

What are you going to inform the other guy that she never got married. And if the new guy comes to know that she got married earlier and got divorced. 

And if he files the case that you guys have cheated the boy all people will be going to court round and round which will be so bad for both the families.

In Legal Terminology - May be other advocates can throw some light....

Section 498A is for dowry harassment, hence you can do nothing with such case. If you have any proof of dowry harassment, then you can proceed with the case, just to pressurize him, but 498A in itself is nothing to do with divorce or annulment.

If marriage was not consummated, it can become ground of annulment, but non consummation of marriage needs to be proved through medical evidence.

Choice is yours.

@ Rahul

facts of the case are identical with yours but situation is not identical. You are at receiving end.  The querist here is not at receiving end.
