1. IF Girl's age was 17 at time of marriage, THEN her marriage is legally "null & void" for all purposes. Instead of Divorce Decree, Girl has to file for Marriage Annulment Decree.

This marriage is already null and void under law so indeed filing divorce petition it's better to file for marriage annulment decree.If the girl parents think it's lengthy process so they can take aid of good divorce lawyer or go to family court for there grivrance or what they feel convenient can do.
