A.Dear Client,

A marriage between individuals of different religions, castes, creeds, or nationalities needs to be solemnized and registered under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, to be legally valid and enforceable. As an adult woman, you have the right to make decisions about your life. Contrary to the misconception that a woman becomes solely a member of her matrimonial house after marriage, it is essential to communicate openly with your parents and proceed with your choice to live with your husband.

You may send your letter along with copies of Nikah to a parents along with translated copy in English so that they can understand and welcome you otherwise you have to lodge a complaint against your own parents because you are grown up and married according to your wishes without any force.

A.Dear Client,
The marriage between two people of different religions, castes, creeds and even nationalities is required to be solemnized and registered under the Special Marriage Act 1954 to make the marriage valid and enforceable under the law. Being an adult and mature woman you have the right to make the decision about your life. It is an eternal myth that after the marriage of an woman, she is considered to be a member of her matrimonial house. So, you should share everything with your parents and go ahead with your decision to stay with your husband.
