In this case you can call the police and file a complaint against your parents. It is to be noted that for divorce there are two procedures. And as a major you have all the rights to live independently. There are two ways to take Divorce in India: 1) Divorce with Mutual Consent: When husband and wife both agree to a divorce; the courts will consider a divorce with mutual consent. For the petition to be accepted, however, the couple should be separated for over a year or two years (as per the relevant act) and be able to prove that they have not been able to live together. Often, even when either husband or wife is reluctant, they still agree to such a divorce because it is relatively inexpensive and not as traumatic as a contested divorce. Matters such as children’s custody, maintenance and property rights could be agreed to mutually. 2) Divorce Without Mutual Consent: In case of a contested divorce, there are specific grounds on which the petition can be made. It isn’t as if a husband or wife can simply ask for a divorce without stating a reason. The reasons for divorce are as follows, though some are not applicable to all religions. 1. Cruelty 2. Adultery 3. Desertion 4. Conversion 5. Mental Disorder 6. Communicable Disease 7. Renunciation of the World 8. Presumption of Death

Dear In case any force is applied then you file a matter before the court for your liberty. In case your wife is ready to provide a divorce then file mutual consent divorcee petition. In case your family member threaten you or applied physical force then file complaint before nearest police station. Thanks.
