• How to be safe from police and law things in the following circumstances?

I am in a relationship with a guy who is not of my caste. He is from Bhopal and I am from Odisa. He and I planned a trip to his parents place in Bhopal for me to meet his family. His mom wanted me to ask my parents if they would come too. But ever since the beginning they have been dead against this relationship. Hence, they denied.. Infact they gave back a statement that they would take some legal action if i still go to Bhopal to meet his family. What actions probably can they take? What should be my step to keep them(his family) out of these things? How can I make a legal statement officialy? What would be my next step if i want to make it clear to the law that going there is my personal decision?

They cannot take any legal.action if you are major and you are going on your own consent.

Nothing. No complaint maintainable agasint them and even if any filed, you can give your statement.

Nothing as official, all you need to if any false complaint filed by your parents, police will record your statement, than you can say straight, you are going by your choice. You being major, no one can prohibit you.

1. For braking a relationship no legal action lies.

2. Even if there ws a marriage engagement and later marries would have been called off then also no action could have been taken.

3. So it is better to come out of this relationship gracefully. if your partner can not withstand pressure form home now then later also he could not have done son even if you married him and this making the very prospect of the amrriage uncertain.

4. So it is ood that you have known the true face of this coward.

Supreme court declared that , when  a man and a woman in love live together , is part of the right to life and not a criminal offence, and further live-in relationships is legal in India.

- If you are a minor , then a court cannot allow the minor to marry or live-in relationship , with or without parental consent.

- Hence, if you & your friend are major/adult, then you can live alone and take your independent decision without consent of marriage, and your parents cannot take any legal actions against both of you.

- Since, your parents threatening you, then you should lodge your complaint/information to the police , after narrating that being major you are having right to take self decision, and further want to live with your boyfriend, and your parents are threatening for dire consequences .

1. IF both (Girl & Boy) are of Major age, THEN nobody can take any adverse action against you or the Boy & his family.

2. Just simply go to the local police station at the both the places, and give your voluntary statement that you are major & are voluntarily with the boy for marriage purposes and that you do not have any property of your father with you.  AFTER this take certified copies of your statement from the Police and keep copies with you, boy and his family.  AFTER this nothing happens to anybody, even if your parents make any complaint /issue about it.

If  you are an adult by age and eligible for marriage i.e., of marriageable age, then your parents cannot stop you from going ahead to marry the person of your choice.

your parents cannot legally stop you from proceeding with this decision neither they can take any legal steps on this.

If at all they are trying to prevent you forcibly then this can be considered as an illegal act for which you can seek remedy either through police or through court of law seeking protection and an order of restrainment against your parents.

Woman, 20, Free To Live With 'Underage' Husband, Rules Supreme Court

An adult couple can be in a live-in relationship even if the man isn't 21 years, the legal age for marriage, the Supreme Court has ruled, telling 20-year-old Thushara that she was free to decide who she wanted to live with.
Dear Sir,

Marriage TWO ADULTS WITHOUT MARRIAGE CAN LEAD MARRIAGE BEFORE ATTAINING MARRIABLE AGE - Supreme Court.

The high court of Kerala had last year annulled her marriage and sent her back to her father on grounds that the Nandakumar wasn't 21 when they married in April last year.

The Supreme Court also said the high court couldn't have cancelled their marriage on its own under the marriage law, relying on the top court's verdict that allowed a 24-year-old young woman from Kerala, Hadiya, to go with her husband.

In this case, Thushara's father had accused Nandakumar of kidnapping his daughter and got an order from the high court to cancel her marriage with Nandakumar, pointing that he was only 20 years when he married his daughter. The high court had restored the women to her father.

But the Supreme Court ruled that it was sufficient to note that Thushara and Nandakumar were adults.

"Even if they were not competent to enter into wedlock (which position itself is disputed), they have right to live together even outside wedlock," a bench of Justices AK Sikri and Ashok Bhushan said.

The top court noted that the legislature had also recognised "live-in relationship" which has been covered under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005.

"It needs no special emphasis to state that attaining the age of majority in an individual's life has its own significance," the court ruled, elaborating that adults were entitled to make their choices.

"The courts cannot, as long as the choice remains, assume the role of parens patriae (a Latin term that literally translates to parent of the nation)," the judges said. In legalese, it is the doctrine that grants the state its power to protect people who are legally unable to act on their own behalf. Like minors.

It also cited the Hadiya verdict that concluded the court could not assume the "role of a super guardian" for adults.


Hadiya's marriage to a Muslim man, Shafin Jahan, was annulled by the Kerala High Court last year after her father alleged that she had been brainwashed and forced to convert. The father's version was cited by right wing groups to label it as "love jihad", a term used by them to accuse Muslim men of trapping and marrying Hindu women to recruit them for terror.
