legal help

My friend got engaged to a guy. But now she not willing for the marriage as the person. her and that person thinking are not matching at all. But her parents are forcing for the marriage by boycotting her(not talking with her), beating and giving threat. if she don’t marry then they will die and also saying that if she don’t want to marry then better option that she should suicide, so that their name and status in society will not damage. She want to come out of home and lead a separate life. To do so she have also taken a help of her one friend and introducing that friend as her boyfriend and want to marry him but on this they say that they harm her friend and also create scene in her office so that her friend will loose his job and her too.

her parents called one baba and asked about all this she should marry or not then that baba said that it is rite to marry a person whom she got engaged. He said to her that "I m saying to marry as god as has instructed him this" and he also said that if she don’t follow this then she can never be happy and she destroy her self etc etc. She can get any legal help so that she can be protected against this marriage? she can go to police station and file a complain? And can she take legal help against this case so that she and her friend are protected from her family members. It required that she should have some one with her when she goes to police station and log complain against them as she don’t have anyone to support her. Can law provide security to her from her parents and family members?

Please help her in this situation.

Law could provide remedy. However, it would be preferable for us to approach a reputed women's NGO and avail their support in the legal process.

Yes, my advise is to go to NGOs and they should support for this.

It seems like honor killings this days frequently. so, you have to protect your friend from honor killing as you said that she don’t want to marry then better option that she should suicide, may be they create a problem in future so give support to your friend ,in case NGOs not help ,take help of police.

 

You said She want to come out of home and lead a separate life. .My advise is to left the parent home and live separately. As per fact you said she should immediately left her parent home and live separate life.

You said that she don’t have anyone to support her.  Don’t worry you and your friend and also NGOs help your friend. Best of luck good bye.:)
