My girlfriend’s family is putting a lot of pressure on her and preventing us from talking. Is there any law in India that lets us get married in this situation? What legal action can I take against her family for this? If she distances herself because of their pressure, what can I do? She is 27 and I am 29. I’m really worried, please help.

In India, individuals above 21 years of age can marry freely without parental consent. While there’s no specific law against interference in a relationship, you can approach the police if you believe her family is physically harming or threatening her. If she distances herself due to pressure, you can try to communicate your concerns and support her decision. It’s important to respect her autonomy and be patient during this difficult time.
