What you are going through is Domestic violence by your own parents. So you have remedy under Protection of Women under Domestic Violence Act, 2005. But to seek remedy under this first you have to approach the local police station or a letter to the concerned Police officer in your residential area. But since you say that you come from an influential background your parents might try to influence the police as well. So better consult a lawyer soon and discuss your problems so as to solve the problems amicably. Good luck.

You can claim your share in the entire ancestral property and get independent. According to 2005 amendment in the applicable law, a female can also claim her share in her ancestral property. As far as marriage is concerned, you are an adult and nobody can legally stop you from marring legally. Mental, emotional and verbal abuse, though sound simple, but has many dimentions. It is the nature and severity of the abuse which will determine what recourse do we have in law. For that you have to consult a lawyer in detail.
