1) since you both are adults you are free to marry

2) inform your parents of your marriage

3) there is no problem if you dont stay together

4)obtain an affidavit from girl that she has married you out of her own free will

5) if her parents file any false case against you of kidnapping your wife statement would come in handy

Dear Querist

If the girl is also major and she is with you, then no need to worry, the law shall protect you. they can not file any case against you and if they file and the girl with you then no action shall be taken against you by police or court.

when both of you are major and done registered marriage then you may live together without any interference of them and if they will do, then you may file a complaint against them before police or directly file a writ pettion before the High Court to get protection.

1) if any false case of kidnapping is filed against you by your wife parents then affidavit executed by your wife before notary public that she married you out of her own free will would be helpful to you

2) police will record your wife statement . if she says she married you of her own free will then you will be safe . if she says she was was forced to marry you then you would be in trouble

If both of you had attained the marriageable age i.e 18 for girl and 21 for man then you were free to marry according to your wishes and then register the marriage. Since it is a common practice in India to file a FIR of abduction against the husband in such scenarios you may move the High Court for protection.

Merely getting the marriage registered may not make the marriage between you both a legally valid marriage.

The ceremony for marriage should have taken place, howeve since the marriage was registered before witnesses, you can claim the marriage to be valid and legal.

Now you can announce the world that you are married to her so this will certainly make an impact on her adamant parents.

In any case they may not try to make the marriage as null and void just because you both are living separately ever since your marriage.

There is no question of kidnapping her since she has volunteered to accompany you. She is major by age hence there is no question of kidnapping her.

As far as announcing your marriage do not hesitate.

Dont worry about her prents financial status, since you both are married, they cannot do anything except to put pressure on her.
