Girl had eloped with a man voluntarily and not forcefully, though you may lodge a case of kidnapping, but on facts and circumstsnces of case it may not stand if the girl who is adult confess that she had ran away voluntarily .

If the girl has gone with the man out of her own free volition then her parents cannot take recourse to law to bring her back. The girl has attained the age of majority and is at liberty to decide who she should live with and where she should go. No rigours can be placed on her right to choose her man. The utmost which the parents of girl can do is file a police complaint whereupon police will trace the girl and inquire from her as to whether she has gone with the man in question out of her own free will, or she was forcibly taken by him. If she informs the police about the voluntary nature of her action then the complaint will immediately be dismissed. Furthermore, the man with whom she has gone can sue her parents for defamation if the girl discloses that she was not forcibly taken away by him.

The girl has attained majority by crossing 18 years of age.

I regret to inform that nothing could be done against the man if the girl has gone away with her free will.

Kidnapping happens to a child below 18 years of age, not to a person who has attained 18 years of age,

No complaint can be lodged against the male person if no force has been used to win away the girl.

1. The girl is an adult,

2. She is legally entitled to chose her husband/partner,

3. Nothing can be done if she is in support of that man.
