1. whats the age of your friend .

2. if she is a minor than they can very well file a case against you or a missing report / Fir nd you would be in trouble .

3. have they locked her in the house or in a single room and tied up her hands .

4. And may we know who is sponsering the fees of the advocate are you and can you bear the fees for next 4-5 yrs and have the time to run around courts as it costs time ??

5. Once Dv is filed the family is going to break up it would be better to convince the parents by involving elders and resolving the issue rather than breaking their bond .
