tourcher and forced marriage
5 years ago
i'm 17 yrs and 8 months old, my parents and family are forcing me to marry someone, i don't like. i told them i like someone else, but they said his cast is different, so you have to marry from our cast only. and when i dis agree they beat me and also dosen't give me anything to eat. i want to leave the house and go to the person whom i want to marry, his family is ready and he is also ready, but he says i have to wait till 18.what happens if i leave my house and stay with my frnds and after 4 month when i'm 18, i marry him. what will i do if my family files missing complain and give his name in court.please help. it's very urgent.
A.Legally speaking, if you leave home now your parents may file a missing complaint and may bring you home. Also, now you can refuse to marry as you are under aged, and once you are eighteen, you are free to marry anyone you like. This apart, neither your parents nor you seem to be looking for a life of your own by continuing your education. What the family of some one that you like intend you at such young age to become ? If you marry now certainly your education will come to an end and you will end up doing their household work only. But if you tell your parents to allow you to continue your education and marry afterwards, your may have a better future.

A.you are too young for marriage, however the legal age for marriage is 18 but one should marry once he/she completes his study and stable his/her career,
you should follow your parents' advise and should concentrate on your studies.
if you go to the house of the boy, whom you like, you will involve him and his complete family in heavy trouble.

A.You are underage, and should restrain from cohabiting with your lover, least he will fall in big trouble. Not only kidnaping but also rape charges will be brought against him. So wait for another four months and marry the man of your choice.
Since your parents are forcing you into any marriage before 18 years and torturing you, lodge a complaint against them under Prevention of Child Marriage Act and Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. If police do not take your complaint then write to the SP. Alternatively you can file a case u/s 156(3) Cr.PC against your parents before the Magistrate. Contact a local lawyer from Vidhikarya.

A.You can file a complaint in the concerned police station that your parents are compelling to marry somebody of their choice before attaing majority. but there are chances of filing frivilous cases against your lover by your parents inorder to change your mind set.you can marry a person according to your wish after attaining majority.now it is better to concentrate on your studies .Make sure not to fall into the wrong hands .Think wisely

A.You cant run from reality. As you know you are under 18 yrs minor and want to marry against your parents will. If you left your parents home and marry without consent of your parents that might be make some trouble and your future husband might be charged with kidnapping. Wait for 4 months and then you are free to marry with ur choice. Dont underestimate that legal provision for valid age of marriage. You can marriage through special marriage act after attending age of majority. kindly consult with family court lawyers or contact with vidhikarya lawyers for legal advice.
