What legal help can I get for forced marriage and abuse?

Hello Sir, my friend was forcibly married by her family a year ago. They now won’t let her get a divorce and continue to physically abuse her. They even got her to sign a blank paper. Yesterday, they tried to strangle her. Please help me, Subhas Sir. I’ve been in touch with you for three years and spoke to your team, but we couldn’t get married. Now, please guide me on what to do.

Your friend can file a case under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, cruelty and causing miscarriage without consent. She should seek medical help, collect evidence of abuse, and approach a legal aid service if needed. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
