How can a minor girl (aged 14+) get legal help in India for being mentally tortured and neglected (domestic violence) by her parents?
5 years ago
A 14+ years old girl child has been mentally abused and neglected for last 4 years now and the child cannot tolerate as the situation exceeds the limit. She does not want to stay with her parents at all. What are the legal options in India available that the girl can approach for her own protection.
If the girl wants to live with any other family who loves her lot and she also loves the family too much, is it possible that the family gets the custody of that child?
As she is above 14, whether her desire can be addressed or not?
