My daughter, who is divorced, has been dating a Muslim man for the past four years. We’ve made it clear that we won’t accept a relationship with her if she chooses to marry him. While we respect her decision to marry, we can’t have her in our family anymore. This is because she’s threatened to file a harassment case against my husband and me if we prevent her from entering our home. We’ve never stopped her from marrying him, but she’s not moving forward with the marriage and refuses to leave him. She also won’t leave our rented house, creating difficulties for our other daughters who are getting marriage proposals. We’re at our wit’s end as she insists that no one can stop her from entering the house or meeting her boyfriend while living with us, which we find unacceptable. This situation has escalated twice last year when we tried to address her behavior with the police.
Best Answer
In India, a daughter’s choice of partner is her own and cannot be forced upon her. While you have the right to your own opinions, you cannot prevent her from entering your home or meeting her partner. The police cannot intervene in this personal matter unless there is evidence of violence or illegal activity. It’s advisable to seek legal counsel to understand your rights and options.
