I’m a 22-year-old woman from India. Since I was a little girl, my parents have constantly put me under immense emotional pressure. It’s been a heavy burden on my mind, making me feel deeply depressed. They’ve even threatened me with violence, saying they would harm me. This constant torment has taken a toll, and I’ve even attempted suicide. I’m currently living in Chandigarh, pursuing a graduate degree and looking for a government job. My parents, however, are only giving me financial support to keep me away from private jobs and now they’re forcing me to come back home and get married. They constantly call and abuse me. I’m at my wit’s end, struggling with daily depression and feeling trapped.

Under Indian law, you have the right to live independently and pursue your career choices. Your parents’ emotional abuse and threats are unlawful and you can seek help from the police or a women’s helpline. You also have the right to refuse an arranged marriage.
