I am in a relationship with a guy and we told our families that we broke up but before some days they came to knwo that we are still together. I am working and kind of independent but he stays with his family but being a girl i am harrased by my family as i am still studying they said they wont let me study anymore and i have to marry the guy according to their caste and we belomg from different caste as well. I want to legally move out of the house and file a case against my parents for safety purpose as they are threatening me and my boyfriend for killing us. Please give me some legal advise to fight for my rights.

As per your query

If you (Girl) have completed 18 years and your boyfriend has completed 21 years of age you both can very well marry each other under Special marriage Act. If your parents are opposing and threathning you .. you both can approach your area police station and inform the police and seek their help..

Dear Madam,

You may filed complaint against your parents, you have an remedy under domestc violence act, and you will also file complaint under Indian Penal Code, but you should be mature.
-right to education,
-right to liberty, this is the remedy for you under The Indian Constitution.

Dear Client,
Its disheartening that you don't trust your parents and wish to file case against them. Anyways, if you are above 18 years of age, you are free to marry anyone as per your wish.

Lastly would say, think 1000 times before taking any decision.
