• Relationship and girl friend family issue

Hi, 

 I ( Age: 25) have been in a relationship with my GF (Age: 25) for the last 2 years including physical ones. I have some normal pics, voice calls, and hotel receipts.

 I have been tired (for the last 1 year) of convincing her parents and my family to accept our marriage (she also did). Due to their inter-caste (Girl-BC, Boy-MBC), horoscope, and personal reasons they didn't accept our marriage. 
 
 Before 2 months I went to her home and informed them about our love only (Not a physical one) like she didn't give any promise to me, etc.. to protect her from her family. Still, they didn't accept. Because of that my GF got angry and also they forced her to avoid me for the last 1 year (Now, more). 2 weeks before I met her, and expressed myself and convinced her. She said we will talk.

After that, we don't have any communication for the past 2 weeks.

 Now, I'm trying to go to her home again with my brother or with some elder people (Please guide me in that? ) and tell them all the relationships we have, including physical ones. 

 She wants me to marry due to her fear, disbelief, and inability to fight with her parents (after a long war), what to do?
 
 What if they filed a false complaint against me at the police station (I know she won't agree with that) and forced her to say such as I don't like him, etc? How do we tackle that situation?

since both are adults you are at liberty to marry each other 

 

2) she can inform the local police station in writing wherein  she is residing that she is marrying you out of her own free will

no need to go to her home again with your brother 

 

2) her family is opposed to your relationship and has no intentions to approve your marriage 

 

3) get married as per provisions of HMA

  1. It absolutely wrong disastrous to disclose you physical relations with girl. Not only things will be bad but her life will also be spoiled. If you love her try to convince her parents.
  2. If you are financially independent you can both go for registered marriage. Once such marriage is successfully registered, all have to agree.
  3. But don’t even think of disclose anything that will damage her character.

- As per law, being major , you both have right to marry without getting consent of others.

- Hence, her parents having no right to lodge a complaint against you for showing willingness to marry with her.

- However, if she refused to give her consent , then she can only lodge a complaint against you. 

- You can lodge a complaint before the police after narrating that her family members are creating obstacle in the marriage on the ground of caste , and you can produce the proofs of her relationship with you like pictures and voice calls.

Dear client, the decision you make will be dependent on the girl's parents' mindset. Be cautious when dealing with these situations.

Another thing is that because you are both majors, you can legally marry without anyone's permission or consent.

If the parents have filed a false case, you should have evidence that you and the girl are in a relationship and that anything you do or done is with her consent.

It is better that you take your parents and some elders from your family, visit their home and submit your proposal to marry her.

You may not reveal the details of your physical relationship with her.

 

They cannot lodge any false complaint just because you have visited their home with your proposal to marry her, hence don't be worried on that count, if they still go ahead with any false complaint, you can challenge the same on the basis of documentary evidences in your side.

You have been advised to not cross your limits by revealing the details of your intimacy with her, this may provoke them and besides physical attacks, they may make sure that you people will be booked under false complaints.

Better you maintain patience, the revelation of your physical relationship with her may even irritate her and would make her to end your relationship forever for obvious reasons.

One thing is for sure, that the relationship between you and the girl was that of love and consensual. Nobody can dispute this posisition.

 

However, whether or not she agrees to marry is you is her personal choice. Neither you can compel her to marry you, and likewise neither her family can compel her not to marry you. You have to tackle the situation very delicately
