• Mental harassment

Hello,
I've been in a distance relationship for almost two years. She's (age 18 & me 22 at that time) from a conservative joint family. Her brother emotionally deceived her by saying that "Tell me if you're in a relationship, I will support you. But if I come to know from others then it will hurt me." She later excitedly told me about it and she was sure about that her brother will support us, though I was concern (having past accounts in mind as she used to tell me). So she told him and he did what he wanted from so long. He terrorized us by saying that he will put me in jail and fix her wedding forcefully, so for the sake of both of us we stopped talking. But within one week we started chatting. And after two months I went to her city to live and we continued meeting. But one day her brother caught us prior to her fashion show and then my friends flew me back in deteriorated condition. And then I come to know that her family is blaming me as a one-sided-lover, or a human trafficker of some crime patrol serial (they forget that I'm a writer).
Since then I've been in coma and almost headed to mental asylum. (Currently seeing a psychiatrist).
Please pardon me for the elongated story. but I'm totally fidget nowadays. 
What should I do?

Well, it is more a personal problem than a legal one.

I am not sure why you have become so broken so it is not clear that the girl has also ditched you.

If she still loves you and you are established enough to look after her then you can marry your girl and live happy ever after.

Since both of you are consenting adult the law is in your support and if her family members try to use force you can take resort to law and get police protection.

So first know the will of your girl friend and decide accordingly.

Life is precious.O do not waste it for nothing.

If you have been threatened by her brother file police complaint of criminal intimidation against her brother under section 506 of IPC

2) if you have been physically assaulted file police complaint against her brother u set section 352 of IPC

3) since both are adults you are at liberty to marry your girl friend

Report to the Police that you have been assaulted and tortured by this fellow. He is liable to be booked for causing hurt to you, besides other offences.

Lodge a FIR against him.

Since you two are major, you two can marry each other and none can stop.

Marry each other and then seek security from the High Court by filing a writ.

OR

otherwise if they file some complaint then you will have good grounds to defend the same.

Do not worry

What is the stand taken by that girl in this regard?

If she is not cooperating then you canot do anything about it.

You can send some feelers to her to know about her mental state and her present status.

If she is not willing to marry or keeping relationship with you then you cannot force her and any such move may attract criminal offence against you.

There is no cause of action to lodge any complaint against her brother with the police.

He has not done any crime against you that you have any reason to lodge a criminal complaint against him.

Most important part is that the girl should support and cooperate with you to achieve your goal or else any effort taken by you in this regard may be considered as illegal and may backfire.
