1) girl can file police complaint against her parents if they refuse to permit her to study

2) approach state commission of women and lodge complaint against her parents

If your friend has problem with her parents she can opt to make complaint with the school authorities and if need be she may take the assistance from local police and also she may approach the district collector who will come to her rescue.

She may take the assistance of any NGO too in this regard.

The government itself is encouraging education to the girls with various incentive schemes, hence she can very well approach the District collector against her parents who are reported to stop her from continuing the education.
