If your girlfriend is underage (17) and her family is forcing her into marriage, you can approach the police to report child marriage, as it's illegal for someone under 18 to marry. You can also seek a protection order from the court to stop the marriage and protect her rights. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
