Family forcing me to get married what can I do


12-Jun-2023 (In Family Law)
Hi, I got engaged to a guy 2 months ago due to family pressure. I was threatened (marwaris) which made me agree out of fear. But, I m still not ready for the marriage. My family is forcing me to marry & asking me to forget all my aspirations & dreams and look out for new avenues in the other house, if they allow. I am in no mood to compromise and want to pursue my dreams. It has been a hell filled journey so far where i enjoy nothing. I asked my dad to cancel the alliance but he is hell bent to carry it. He too said he would kill me if i do not go with what he says. What should i do?

You can lodge a complaint to the Police and file a case under Domestic Violence Act in Judicial Magistrate Court. You can also lodge a complaint to the State Women Commission. You can also file a Complaint case in court.

This is a difficult situation, and the only solution is an unpalatable one, and that is to file a complaint against your family and the prospective groom's family. While you may be understandably hesitant to do so, it is the only way you can escape the situation. You can also approach local authorities such as the District Magistrate seeking protection.
