Reading: My girlfriend and I are both of legal age and want to get married. But her parents are strongly against it. I’ve tried talking to them, but they’ve threatened me and even confined her to the house, taking away her phone. She manages to contact me occasionally. What’s the best way to proceed legally, ensuring my safety and avoiding any trouble for my family? She can leave her home, but she won’t be able to go back. Should we go to the police station and file a complaint against her parents? Will they help?

In India, adults have the right to marry without parental consent. You can approach the police for help in securing her release from her home. However, avoid escalating the situation as it could lead to unwanted legal complications for your family. Consider seeking legal counsel for further guidance on navigating this complex situation.
