As per the details provided, the girl is being unlawfully confined in the house against her will by her husband and mother’s family. This act amounts to illegal detention and violation of her fundamental rights, including the right to personal liberty under Article 21 of the Constitution of India. The girl has the legal right to leave the premises and live independently as per her wishes. Any act of forcible confinement is a punishable offense under Sections 339, 340, and 342 of the Indian Penal Code (wrongful restraint and wrongful confinement). If she is facing any threats, intimidation, or physical harm, the perpetrators may also be liable under other criminal laws, including those related to domestic violence. Immediate legal action should be taken by filing a police complaint or a habeas corpus petition in the High Court, seeking her release from unlawful custody. Additionally, protection orders under the Domestic Violence Act, 2005, can be sought if she is facing abuse. Legal intervention is necessary to ensure her safety and uphold her fundamental rights. The concerned authorities must act swiftly to prevent any further harm.

You can file a Habeas Corpus plea before the Honble High court of Bombay challenging the arbitrary manner in which your daughter is kept as a hostage. It is necessary that you share some more details so that I can assist you further in the matter.
