Confinement of an adult women by parents.

31-Jul-2023 (In Criminal Law)

Hello sir/ madam, needed your guidance as to what actions can be taken if a 19 year old girl’s family is harrasing/physically abusing her and not letting her leave the house. The women helpline was contacted despite which no action has been taken. How to proceed further and can a injunction/restraining order be occupied?

Answer #2

If the behaviour of her parents are intolerable towards her then she should immediately file a complaint in writing and address it to the police station according to her jurisdiction. And if she wants to go legal then she can always file a petition under section 12 Domestic Violence Act. For more legal assistance I am just a call away.

Answer #5

You can approach the magistrate concerned u/s 97 CrPc to issue search warrants for the person who is illegally confined. As you said the girl is physically abused by her parents she is a major by age so she has every right to take her life decisions independently and she can also file cases against these offences. Hope this helped you
