A forcible signature on document can definately be challeneged in court of law. Such a signed document cannot be produced in divorce petition. Procedure under the Special Marriage Act is to be followed for the purpose of taking legal and valid divorce.

Re: Validity of marriage settlement agreement
If you have duly married before the Marriage Registration officer of the jurisdiction concerned then that itself is enough, you need not worry about the agreement.
It can be produced as valid document.
You have stated the word MSA, is it a Mistake for USA.
if the marriage is done in India, then it cannot be divorced until it is done in India.
If forcefully signature is taken then you have to prove that under life threatening he has taken the signature on the document.
