• Love Marriage

Hi Team,

I am a Hindu baniya girl of 28 years and my boyfriend Kayastha 29 years.My family is against our marriage. We tried to convince them a lot but they are not agreeing for the same. They are not ready to abondon me and not allowing me to do marriage on my own. Nor they are arranging marriage for themselves. They are asking to take transfer and leave the city. Even when i dont eat food, i get admitted because of stress and low BP issues they still dont allow for marriage. Boy is afraid for his single mom and for his family safety and he says he would marry if my father says yes do it on your own or even says ok we wont harm you, you both do whatever u want.

1. You and your BF's problem is that none of your family members are agreeing for your marriage.

2. Both of you shall have to decide whether you shall wait till your parents agree and arranges for your marriage or both of you leave your house and get married of your own.

3. You both are adults and should take a decision depending on the ground situation.

4. If you marry by yourself, send a letter to the local police station informing that you two have married legally and no complaint of your getting eloped by your BF/Husband, if lodged by your family members, should be ignored.

1. This is the common problem faced by couples who decide for inter caste marriage in our Country.

2. Once marriage takes place and first child is borne, the problems get settled in most of the cases.

There is nothing wrong in you both marrying each other.

There is no law stopping you from marrying him except he has to agree for the marriage with you.

Your parents or his parent cannot stop this proposal for any reason.

You both can walk out of the house to get married to each other and get it registered under the provisions of law.

You have to convince for this arrangement if your parents are not willing to get you married.

Legally you cannot forced him to get married to you if he is not willing

Also, they dont allow me to come bk from home and forcefully keep me in home when i try to protest. They say they would take me away if i do marriage on my own. Boy is also scared. He tried his best and made his mother talked and requested to my family but still they didnt agree due to intercaste, different culture, different feeding habits, and financial status.

You can lodge a complaint against your arrogant and adamant parents on this and seek protection against their threats.

If the local police is not cooperative then you may approach the city police commissioner for relief and remedy and his intervention/direction to the local police on this.

If both of you have decided to get married and be a married couple then you may firstly file a writ of habeas corpus in the jurisdictional High Court to seek your release from illegal custody of your parents and also seek protection for yourself. The High Court can not only release you from illegal custody, but also facilitate your marriage by giving you police protection.
