Dear All,
I need a suggestion from you all please help out.
My brother who is 20 years and 3 months in age was threatened/forced by the parents of girl to get married with her in the absence of my parents and me. The mother of the girl take him alongwith her and in the temple given money to the Pandit and had clicked the photographs.
On the marriage certificate issued by the Temple Pandit, no witnesses had signed except sign of girl and boy and no proof of boy's/girl's age was attached. After that the mother of girl again brought them to Chandigarh High cour where the girl had given the petition against her father and brother for threatening of their life and obtain protection from there.
The Judge had given following Judgement on the case and provided them security
Without commenting on the age of the petitioners and validity of the marriage, directions are given to S.S.P., Pathankot, to decide the representation of the petitioners (Annexure P-5) within one month from today, keeping in view the threat perception to the petitioners.
However, it is made clear that in case any criminal case is pending against the petitioners, this order shall not debar the respondents to proceed with.
After this the boy came back to his house and girl came to her home and the mother of the girl again threatened boy not to tell about this marriage to anyone till three four years but we came to know about this after a person from Police office came to my brother to take his signature on the protection.
After we came to know about this incident we gave an application to the SSP office stating all above and same has been marked to Women Cell Incharge of our city. The W/c Incharge called the parents of girl and girl four times but no one had appered and after our application girl and her parents filed another application in other city.
My question is this marriage is considered to be void?
What is the further step we need to take in this context?
