Family seized my passport to stop me from going abroad to marry my GF


15-Mar-2023 (In Documentation Law)
Hello I am a 24 years old Muslim boy from India and I am in love with a British woman who is 18 years older than me and a Sikh by religion as well. I have been in this relationship since May 2012. She has three kids as well. However, I have never met with her in person, but we both have seen and talked with each other through internet. In Jan 2013, I wanted to go to the UK to get married with her. But my parents seized my passport. I tried to get my passport back but they didn't give it back to me. I went to police for help. But even Police didn't help me. I ever tried to get my passport re-issue but my parents even never let that happened. Police is not helping and saying that the only way to get my passport back is Either my parents give it back to me Or I shall have to wait until my passport expiry (till 2022) I am feeling so helpless now. Therefore, my questions are Is there any way by which I get my passport back from my family?

You can file a complaint in the nearest police for lost passport and then apply for a new duplicate passport and then you can leave for marriage. However, being a Lawyer I will advise you to talk with your family and try counselling regarding the matter and if they still not consider you marrying someone else then you can marry according to the process mentioned above.
