Legal Question in Family Law in India

I have girlfriend who was asked to marry other guy forcefully by her family, she told the whole story of her and mine to the other guy before marriage and the guy told her that I will give you divorce latter on as my mother is too much willing to have this marriage and there was immense pressure on her from her family that if she doesnt get married to this guy her family will commit suicide. Now she is very much reluctant to go to her inlaws home as she wants divorce from the other guy, but that guy is not ready to give her divorce. Pl suggest ASAP.. How would I get marry with this girl and how would she get divorce

she has an option to file a petition for divorce on the grounds of cruelty/desertion/adultry but in case the boy contests the divorce petition, the same may linger on for years. she needs to prove that the boy is at fault.

Your facts are incomplete. Since the girl had told the boy about her affair before marriage, possibly she did not permit "consummation" of marriage.

The "non consummation" of marraige may be used by her as a ground for divorce.

Girl has to blame about cruelty and then file a case of divorce. Ask her not to allow her husband to touch and in this way he will himself agreed for divorce.

I think you made a mistake you have to prepare first before marriage and have to consult an advocate.

Plz let me know your location.
