The decision is hers and not coercion - unless the family is threatening to kill her if she refuses. Coercion is a pressure from the outside.
Or are you suggesting that a person can coerce him- or herself??

what if a girl gives the guy and ultimatum of marriage or seperation, coercion.
?? I do not understand - marriage or seperation?

what if a guy wants to get a divorce but the girl will get most of his assets so he just lives in a shitty marriage, coercion
Then he himself decides beween comfort and freedom, doesn't he? Again, coercion by defintion comes from the outside, and from people.

However, if the wife had said: 'if you break this marrage, I will make sure you never see the children again' - that is a threat or attempting to coerce him to stay in the marriage.
