Hi everyone it’s a problem from mah friend side. My friend (girl)is being tortured and being forced to marry on their parents will and she don’t want to marry and wants to study more . Her parents have closed her in their home and she is being forced by her parents to marry on their choice .they are giving tortures and they are biting her. She is being completely harassed. She wants to know what can she do now and what are the advice you will prefer .her parents are not in a mood to listen anything. They are only forcing her to marry. So please advice some law to be fired on her parents. (don’t think that she should discuss with her parents ,she is in love with other guy but the guy is not major and her parents know this that’s why they are doing this) and its an case of bihar

If she is major, no one can lawfully force her to marry against her wish.
She can simply bring this to the notice of the Police to check the regular tortures which however may jeopardise her relations with her parents for ever.

She can very well call police force as and when required as she is now major and legally can take her own decisions.

Under which locus standie you want to approach the police. The first question they will ask you as that how do you know want is happening inside closed door and when police actually goes there she will speak in favour of her parents and you will be villain and police will deal with you accordingly.
The type of action you want to take is alien to Indian culture. Her relationship with parents will be spoiled if she gives statement against her and so called well wishers like you cannot even provide food and shelter to her. Then you (or the minor boy whom you say she is in lose) will be nowhere near her.
In any case as you described she want to marry a minor and commit a crime and you simply want to abet the crime. Jail is the place for persons like you.

The girl should herself lodge a complaint with the police. She can definitely use the Police Tele contact point 100. Confining her to the house and forcing her to marry a person against her will is a criminal act. The Police will immediately act.

So far as Bhartiya culture is concerned, I do support the views of Sudhir but my reply is based only upon legal aspects.
