A British Columbia judge annulls the marriage of a woman to a fellow member of an India -based "cult group" The woman was an 18-year-old permanent resident in Canada when she was first contacted by the man, who lived in New Zealand .

The ruling says she did not wish to marry but the man and his family “persisted,” bringing a “sacred food gift” to her workplace and claiming the union was “blessed” by a priest of the Dera Sacha Sauda religious group.

The man’s sister warned that refusing the marriage would invite “the wrath” of the religious community.
