1. What her family members is doing is nothing but a crime. So your brother can lodge a complaint of abduction, wrongful restraint and wrongful confinement in the local police station where she is taken or in the place from where she was abducted.

2. on this basis FIR can be registered and criminal case can be started which would prompt the police to cause investigation and recover his wife

3. Another option is to file writ petition of Habeas Corpus in high court which is most effective and efficacious remedy.

Hello Sir,

Please be advised as follows:

The present case prima facie looks to be strong and seems to be lying in your if the girl is being detained contrary to her willingness being an adult. 

This is amounts to Wrongful Confinement which is an offences under Section 340 of the Indian Penal Code being committed by the parents of the girl and in no circumstances they can be permitted or allowed to get married against her wishes. The parents of the girl can as per law be imprisoned for the period stated in the statute for confining her.

Remedies you hold:

1. Go to her house along with the Police officers of the nearest police station after informing him about the entire scenario.

2.Else you can file a writ of Habeas Corpus in the court

Backing of Law for filing a writ of Habeas Corpus you have

1. The Supreme Court in Mohd. Ikram Hussain v. State of U.P (AIR 1964 SC 1625) held thus; "A writ of habeas corpus at the instance of a man to obtain possession of a woman alleged to be his wife does not issue as a matter of course. Before a Court accedes to this request it must satisfy itself at least prima facie that the person claiming the writ is in fact the husband and further whether valid marriage between him and the woman could at all have taken place. (In your case you would just have to prove that you both are legally married)

2. Secondly, In the case of 

Rajmohan v. State of Kerala (2009(4) KLT 466: The Court stated 

A person who has attained majority, is in the eye of law, a person and a citizen entitled to all rights and privileges under the Constitution. There can be no question of an adult major woman being kept in the "custody" of anyone else against her wishes, desire and volition. Even if it be the parents, such custody cannot in the absence of better reasons be justified. An adult major woman residing with parents or husband cannot be held to be in the "custody" of such parent or husband as to deny to her, her rights to decisional autonomy and to decide what is best for her. Parental authority would certainly extend until a child attains majority. But, thereafter, though the parent and the child may be residing together, it can never be held that such child is in the "custody" of the parent. An adult major woman is not a chattel.

Parental authority or matrimonial authority will not at any rate give right to such parent or husband to keep such woman under restraint, confinement or detention against her will. The parent may feel that he has the monopoly for taking correct decisions which concern his daughter, but that impression of a doting patriarchal parent cannot blindly be accepted and swallowed by a Court. The parental authority may extend to advice, counsel and guidance. But certainly, it cannot extend to confinement, detention or improper restraint against the wishes and volition of the adult major daughter.

Please get in touch for any further Query.

Thank you for your time and Consideration,

Your brother will have to file writ of habeas corpus in High Court wherein, the police would produce the girl before the court.

Writ of habeas corpus is filed against a person under whose authority any person is detained to produce that person in court.
In hight court all writs and cases are taken after one day from the date of filing and the court ordered the police to produce the girl before the court and the matter would be decided then.

Her parents cannot illegally detain her if she had married after attaining majority and with her free will.

Considering your situation, I would suggest you to file an FIR at your jurisdictional Police Station stating that your wife is missing since (mention the date). Further, when Police would fail to produce her, you may approach to High Court under Habeus Corpus Writ whereby Police will compel to produce her.

Since she has already married your brother legally and there are proofs to prove that, your brother may file a complaint before the police seeking protection to her and also to release her from the illegal detention of her parents.

If the police is not cooperating then he may file a haebus corpus petition before high court for remedy.
