The marriage is valid as long as the father initiated the contract or approved it. Duress does not affect its validity, unless it was an unlawful coercion. In that case, the marriage is invalid. Therefore, one must pray for this sister for repentance and guidance, and it is not permissible to sever ties with her unless it is a permissible boycott intended for her betterment.
