What should we do if married under pressure and divorcing?

My brother, under pressure from his wife and her family, obtained a marriage certificate from the sub-registrar in 2015 without any ceremony. The wedding rituals were conducted in 2016 under pressure from the bride's family. They are now undergoing a divorce.

Since the marriage certificate was obtained under pressure without ceremonies, it may be considered invalid in court. You can approach a family court for a declaration regarding the validity of the marriage. If you are going through a divorce, you should consult a lawyer to ensure your rights are protected.
