if both you and your partner are major under marriage law then the guardians cannot illegally confine you or your partner..you have a right to file a habeas corpus writ petition before the high court and the high court will ask the other side to produce your partner before the high court and seek her opinion ..if the girl is willing to go with you the court has the power to direct your partner to go along with you with full police protection..
