Advocate Jaladi Lokesh answered
Since you are a major, you are legally competent to make your own decisions regarding marriage, and no person can compel you to marry against your will. At this stage, considering the nature of the dispute, it would be appropriate to first explore counselling and mediation rather than initiate adversarial legal proceedings. You may approach the Sakhi Centre (One Stop Centre) in your district for professional counselling and support services. Alternatively, you may submit a representation to the jurisdictional police seeking preventive intervention and counselling, so that both parties can be called and advised, thereby avoiding escalation of the issue. This approach may help in resolving the matter amicably while safeguarding your personal liberty.
