1. The girls should go to their grandparents and start residing with them if this is what they want. At the same time the grandparents should file a police complaint against their son and daughter-in-law.

2. As long as the girls are below the age of 18 years their natural guardians are their parents, but this rule is subservient to the welfare of girls. In these circumstances the girls can just walk out of their parental home and go to their grandparents house.

1. After walking out of the parental home the girls should go to the nearest police station with their grandparents and file a written complaint against their father and then only go to their grandparents house.

2. Furthermore, to quell any attempt by the father to forcibly bring the girls back to his house the girls can through their grandparents file a suit for permanent injunction against him.
