. It is illegal for someone to force you to marry.
A forced marriage is a violation of human rights. It is also a form of gender violence, since it usually involves mental abuse, emotional blackmail, and coercion from either the family or society.
4. There are Laws in India that protect you from forced marriage.
Civil laws applicable to all communities—relevant in the context of forced marriage—include the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006 (PCMA); the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890 (G&WA); the Majority Act, 1875; the Family Courts Act, 1984 (FCA); and the Family Courts Rules as laid down in various states, as well as the recent Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 (PWDVA).
One can use the PWDVA to prevent child marriages/forced marriages of daughters, as the Act understands forced marriage as a form of domestic violence (Section 3(a) PWDVA).
5. Know your rights against Forced Marriage.
Article 16 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights deals with discrimination against women in marriage-related matters. It further ensures that both men and women have:
The same right to enter into marriage;
The same right to freely choose a spouse and to enter into marriage only with their free and full consent.
Article 23 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights 1966 (c): No marriage shall be possible without the free and full consent of the intending spouses.
