To what to protect my friend from her partner?

A friend of mine is planning to get married for the sake of her 6 year old son. She claims that she wants him to have married parents, although it was she that convinced me that marriage is a thing of the past. Secretly i think her partner is bullying her into it (he has been known for it in the past).

I know it is her decision but when i asked her if she still thought marriage old-fashioned she got really miffed with me.

I really don't know what to do, i'm thinking of consulting her sister in case she is getting grief from her future husband as i know many members of her family suspect him.

My friend seems to think i am being unreasonable for getting involved in her family affairs. Am i?

Not if you genuinely think she is being bullied. If he's genuinely trying to control her. But is that really the way it is? She might just have changed her mind (plenty do, and especially on this kind of thing) and be a bit irritated by you calling her on it?
