I have posted my issue previously on what happened. I'm 24 years old. My mom has been forcing me for marriage. I filed a case in SheTeam but that didn't help me out. Pressure became intense, stress, domestic violence aggravated so badly that i had to leave the house. I ran away from my home on May 10th and stayed at a private hostel for first few days. My mom filed a missing FIR on me in a local police station. I attended every call and answered them that I'm safe and sound. I don't want to be found. I dont want to give my present address as well. I came out of my home willingly without anyone's force. Police asked me to come and give my consent. I said i will do that, upon giving protection. I was given two lady constables on my way to police station and also back to my hostel. I wrote a letter and i said i will return home, whenever i wish to and i dont want anyone to search for me. All these days my mom was trying to blackmail me that she fell sick, she said that she will die if i wont come and she threatened me quite often. Fast forward to this day, Last night around 11pm, they found my place where i was residing, my mom along with 15 family members came to my place and caught me, snatched my phone and held me so tight. I couldn't escape or call someone. My mom pulled my hair and my dress in front of everyone like security guard, family members and others. I reluctantly said no to come back home, but they grabbed me and forced me into the car. My brothers threatened me that they would hit me so bad if i didn't get on the car. I had to get into the car and come home around 1am. They took my phone, scolded bad words, threatened me that If i call anyone or go away again, they would kill me and they house arrested me. Soon in the morning my mom started torturing again. I really dont feel like staying here. In this process, one of my well wisher helped me so much financially, emotionally and psychologically. He provided me an accommodation in a 5 star hotel for a month, took care of me when i was sick, when i was hungry, looked after me, bought me the essentials and took utmost care of me. Now my family and my mom is blaming him. they are threatening me that if i talk to him or have any conversation, they will go to their home and ruin his life. He knew everything about my past and the situations i had been through and is willing to take me as his wife. After my worst past, now i knew what love is and how can someone respect you so much for the way you are despite knowing everything i faced. Now that i'm in this situation with no phone, house arrested, in this immense void, I don't know what to do. I dont want to stay in this place - i called home one day. This became a living hell to me. We are planning to marry but not sure how can i do that staying here? Also If we marry under Special Marriage Act, there's a notice period of 30 days. I can't stay here for those many days because my mom's torture goes on increasing day by day, which is, again why i had to come out in the first place. Please give me an advice. I'm literally helpless and in pain.

A.Dear Madam,
It is the duty of parents to get marry their children. Sometimes the children who attained age of marriage and also attained age of majority they can choose their own partners and get marry and her/his parents cannot restrain from marrying. You may convince your parents accordingly or ask any of your friends to file Habeas Corpus Writ Petition and get you out of the illegal custody of your parents.

My mom and relatives are adamant. They never heard or respected my opinions. Now that im in their custody, they are trying to manipulate me to file a case on the person i love, by saying he is not our caste and by throwing all false allegations on him.

A.Dear Client
Since you are an adult and major hence no one can get you married forcibly as that will be voidable. As your being tortured and harassed at your home so you can take the help of police to come out this situation. You can marry anyone you want.

1. The day i came, i found my room surrounded with turmeric water and two lemons covered with turmeric placed in the two corners of my room. When i asked mom, she said that she did it for ants. But Ants weren't there and I think she has been doing Black magic or some sort to get me back home. I took photo with my laptop. Next day when i asked, she denied that there weren't any lemons placed. I'm scared of what else she is doing.
2. Also, the hotel said they will give in written to police with three witnesses signature that I was snatched, abused and took me into car.
3. My mom and relatives said that they were not in contact with the person whom i rejected, the man who abused me mentally, physically and verbally, bcoz of whom i came out. They made me believe by saying that they blocked him, scolded him and he is not in contact with us since 13th May. But that person came to hotel on the night i was took in, He was found enquiring manager and hotel staff along with my mom and relatives. i have cctv footages from the hotel.
Can i do something from these inputs i got? Please assist.

A.Dear Client,
please try to call for police help as you are under house arrest and cannot go directly complain them. you are 24 and major, so they cannot force you to marry or live in a place where do not wish to. that person who is helping you can also file a case against your family for domestic violence, physical and metal abuse and harrassment.

I contacted police, they said they will send police to my home whenever i want them to come but I'm scared of how my family will react if i call police. They will definitely blame the person who helped me, they will go to his home. My brother said he will kill that person and we wont even find his body. The person who helped me was Ex navy petty officer, he has a family and reputation of his own. I don't want anything to happen to him, or his family because of me. What can be done?
