Assalam-o-alekum,
I wanted to ask about the following case scenario in which a person is forced to pay bribe in order to get his right. The only material i could find online was the following link

Can you please guide me if this ruling is correct as i feel doubtful about it.
JazakAllah
Marriage is valid when Ijab (proposal) and Qabool (acceptance) is done by the boy, girl or on their behalf by their wakeel, in the presence of witnesses. After that, it is not necessary as per Shari’ah to register one’s marriage. However, one should legally register his marriage to avoid any problems in future.
کما فی اعلاء السنن: الرشوۃ ما یعطی لإبطال حق اولإحقاق حق لیتوصل بہ الی حق اولیدفع بہ عن نفسہ ظلمًا فلا بأس بہ۔ (ج۱۵، ص۴۰)۔
وفی البحر: بعد ما ظہر الفساد وتغیر أحوال القضاء والعمال حتی لا یقیموا الحق الا بالرشوۃ فیکون علی ہذا التقدیر مصرہ اسہل لا ثبات حقوقہ۔ اھـ (ج۴، ص۲۲۹) واللہ اعلم بالصواب
