A 25-year-old young man in India was pressured into marriage by his family. His parents threatened to harm themselves if he refused, leaving him with no choice. Is this a legitimate marriage? If not, can he legally marry someone else? What steps should he take to get a divorce if needed?
Best Answer
Under Indian law, a marriage procured through coercion or undue influence is not considered valid. The young man can legally marry someone else as his previous marriage was voidable. To obtain a divorce, he should file a petition in the appropriate court citing grounds like coercion and undue influence.
