My fiancé is a Hindu Rajput from Jaipur, and we’re both adults, earning our own income. Our families are from different backgrounds, and my father, a powerful man, strongly opposes our union. He’s threatened both of us, even resorting to physical violence. I’m terrified of what he might do. If we choose to run away and get married, what legal safeguards can we rely on in India? I need to be absolutely certain we’ll be protected from his rage and ensure our safety before taking this step.
Best Answer
In India, you have the legal right to marry the person of your choice, regardless of your family’s background or disapproval. If your father continues to threaten or harm you, you can file a police complaint and seek legal protection through a restraining order. Consult with a lawyer to understand your specific legal options and ensure your safety before eloping.
