Reminder that forced/coerced marriage (any marriage either party is unwilling to enter) is illegal in India. Even if relatives threaten that they can do it, its not legal. You have options to avoid it.

#desiblr #This isnt abt consensual arranged marriage that is legal ofc #but if you are forced into a marriage its not only unethical but also illegal.#Obviously for ppl in such a situation its up to you #But threats of marriage are basically empty as per law.#A forced marriage is also a grounds for nullification if one or both spouses were coerced or didnt want the marriage #legislature #I say this as someone who had fears about this for so long.#Its not legal to begin with. If anyone like relatives are threatening you with coerced marriage or marriage you don't want #Its not a threat they can legally carry out #Ofc honor killings and other shit are still a thing. But its important to know that coerced marriage is illegal and you are well within you #Rights to file complaints if you are or were coerced or state that its illegal #coerced marriage #tw coerced marriage #tw forced marriage #indian law #forced marriage #That last tag is full of whump or whatever nonsense bc I guess white ppl from america have the privilege of #Never having to worry abt this shit irl so they just write fic abt it
