It was A's duty to register the marriage of B and C, but he unlawfully insisted on doing so only if he was given $50.

Under pressure, B handed over the money for the registration.

A's claim was an abuse of office and included economic pressure because B had no genuine option.

The payment was not legally due, and B would be able to recover the money.

A could also be subject to disciplinary or criminal charges for his conduct.
