Legal way to meet your love
5 years ago
I am 21 years old girl and I am in second year of graduation. I love someone a lot and want to marry him but we can marry each other after 1-2 years so that we will be able to earn enough to pay off my education loan and carry out our daily expenses as well. My family is against our relationship and don't allow me to meet him. What are the legal actions or procedures which I can follow or implement to meet him legally without leaving my home and family as well?

A.As per law the requirement of marriage are comolete in your case. In the eyes of law you both are free to marry with your own choice and free consent. But you cant force your parents to keep you with them. Try to make them understand and than marry happily.

A.Under law you are legal & mature individual you are free to meet anyone,but you are a student depending upon your parents, you have to understand you are in a very delicate & helpless part of your life any action on your part will adversely affect you and your family & your future life.Studentship & family life are two different things in life.You have freedom only when you are self supportive & independent .better to complete your student days concentrating on studies & future job opportunities and automatically you will learn to understand the realities of life .

A.you need not take any legal action to meet someone, you have freedom to do so. But every daughter and son do not have automatic right to live in the house with parents against will of the parents.Parents re legally not obliged to look after you after you turn 18.

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.
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.

A.There is no place for feelings in law and court. If there is restriction imposed by law then you must be follow. The problem is that you both are not legally cohabited. There was chanses if you were live in relationship then there were protection of law.but you both are just want to marry without permission of your family. Better way to concentrate on your study and make your future better.good luck.
