PMy friend and his boyfriend got married against their parents wishes. The marriage was done by Hindu marriage act before a magistrate or lawyer itseems.
Now the issue.
The boyfriends family is not accepting because of caste issues.
The boyfriend now sided with her parents. Wants to cancel the marriage.
Now my friend is going to police station.
What can she tell the police? How to proceed further.
My friend now doesn’t want him anymore.
So what are the options?

PI’m really sorry I misread, I thought the girl belonged to SC/ST that’s why the guys family isn’t letting them marry.

ANAL, since both married as an adult without anyone having any mental health issues, they need to proceed with divorce until she wants to contest as she was cheated/defrauded into marriage? It also depends on how long they have been married for, generally courts aren’t that friendly towards annulment until she has a strong case, from what you have mentioned, it doesn’t look like a case for annulment to me. I maybe wrong.

EThe husband can file for divorce unilaterally if the wife doesn’t provide consent for divorce.
The wife can contest this petition which will lead to hell lengthy and expensive legal battle. Since the husband is filing for the divorce. He’ll need to provide financial support to the wife throughout the proceedings and later wife can file for alimony and maintenance as well.
You’ll need to provide more details like how long they’ve been married, is there any kids in this family and what’s the profession of both of them.

UNAL.
Once a marriage is done, unless you prove impotence of the guy, it cannot be annulled. The fact that your friend married knowingly that the family won’t accept her is on her. Her husband should defend her or at least live away, but it is what it is.
The best solution at this point is to go for a mutual divorce.
Do not listen to these people saying abuse the law. Here’s what will happen if you abuse the law.
Girl will file fake cases. She will get some alimony (if she is not better off than the guy). But in the process she will tarnish her own reputation and the guys’ family reputation. The case will drag on for several years. And they will be divorced. The guy will find another girl to marry because he will play the girl is “bad person” card and use the litigation as proof. The girl- no one will marry her unless they are very familiar with the situation. So yes- the girl will get money, but her life is wasted at that point. The guy can contest the alimony amount and evade paying it forever or claim bankruptcy- at which point – the girl will suffer.
My suggestion- talk with the guy, take whatever compensation he’s offering (marriage expenses are fair ask + gifts given to the guy) and move on. Keep it simple and forget about revenge. Get married. Have a kid. Be happy. That’s the best you can do really.
