1. Your daughter can file a Writ Petition before the High Court against police for its inaction in putting section 420 of IPC seeking justice,

2. Your daughter can also file a petition for annulment of her marriage since her consent for the marriage was obtained by her husband by suppressing vital facts.

420 IPC is undoubtedly applicable in these facts and circumstances. Your daughter can directly file a private criminal complaint in the court to incorporate s. 420 in the FIR whereupon the court can pass orders to police to add 420 IPC.
