You didn't disclosed the-
1 age of your sister
2 Mode of marriage
For a valid marriage Spatpadi is essential element.
You have three options-
1. Let their life united if possible.
2. Stick on that it was not a valid marriage.
3 Or file a suit for nullifying the marriage.

Dear Mr.Pankaj,
You have to provide some more actual facts before we here come to a conclusion by giving you the corrrect advice.Because this is a very sensitive matter concerning the life of your sister.What was she doing all these days?How come, she came to know about him only the marriage was notarised?Keep aside the marriage photos.Let us presume that they can be created,but what about the notary certificate.Is your sister a major?You are saying that she returned home the very day of her marriage.If it is proved that the marriage is legal,then she has either to go back to him or if she is still not convinced about the character of her husband,she can file a suit nullifing the marriage.Anyway try for a councelling with marriage councellors.If that too fails proceed legally.

1[ Explanation.- Where a question arises whether there has been reasonable excuse for withdrawal from the society, the burden of prov- ing reasonable excuse shall be on the person who has withdrawn from the society.] 2[

There is no need of presence of any member of family. It is not a Muslim or Christina marriage where witnesses are essential . What she gave in writing before notary is anyone guess because you are not disclosing the contents. It appears taht she has admitted marriage. What else do you need. Saptpadi is essential normally but in many parts of India there is no saptapadi (Punjab and Haryana). In pubjabi Hindus mostly there are only four circles (not seven ) around holy fire. Sikh marriages are also governed by HMA but they do not even have sacred fire. Even Jain Buddhist have different ceremony and yet governed under HMA.
All these marriages are valid.
You are perhaps on the receiving end. You sister had been in league with misfortune. Now she has to admit that there is a marriage and he has induced her to marry because of misrepresentation etc.

There is no need of Saptpadi.....

If the marriage has not been consummated, it is not a legal marriage and your sister should insist only upon this point and thus get the marriage declared as null and void.

I disagree, non-consummation of marriage alone does not make it null and void.
Try fraud instead.

Section 5 of the Act makes it clear that a marriage may be solemnised between any two Hindus if the conditions contained in the said Section were fulfilled. In other words, in the event the conditions remain unfulfilled, a marriage between two Hindus could not be solemnised.”
the law says that a marriage can be performed or "solemnised" according to the customary rituals and ceremonies of the community to which either the bride or the groom belongs. the rituals and ceremonies carried out must be recognised and accepted by the community concerned as being the proper ones for formalising a marriage. For example, the law makes it very clear that in a Hindu marriage, where the ceremony includes the saptpadi, the ritual of circling the sacred fire seven times, the ceremony becomes complete and the marriage binding when the seventh round is completed.
in the presentcase no valid marriage has been performed . mere clicking of pics in front of pandit and in temple does not make it a vlid marriage . cotest the case . engage a lawyer

In addition to the rightful advise from Mr.Sethi, consummation is also an assential part for completion of marriage.
Further, as per your contentions, the marriage is not registered and your sister was induced to the marriage on false and frivolous representations. This ground is sufficient to nullifiry the marriage.

your matter involves a lot of facts to be proved with a cogent evidence.
better seek help of a local lawyer, mere academic exercise here wont serve the purpose...have faith in your lawyer and fight it out.

You claim She never married, ans is a spinster.
You need not wait for court Judgement or order. No one stops you marry another man.
Let him do , whatever he wants to do.
Never say again "my sister has attempted the marriage with the person."
If you say so, you are in trouble to disprove marriage.
consume hv nothing to do,

Conummation is not a necessary part of the marriage. The marriage can not be annulled on this ground alone.
Only when the non-consummation is due to the impotency of the respondent, it becomes a ground for divorce,

I also disagree. It is only muslim marriage which is invalid due to non-consumnation.

You are confused. Unable to explain your problem. Please visit the nearest available competent lawyer near to you with all the papers. Beating around the bush on the internet has a danger. The lawyer of opposite party (if also member of this forum) can get educated of the shortcoming of your case.

Dear Nair Sir,
I was still expecting some answers regarding non-consummation alone being a ground for nullity.
