Home eviction by my parents for not accepting for second marriage prop

977 votes

If the step-parents are trying to evict an adult child solely due to refusal to comply with a personal demand (like accepting a second marriage proposal), it may not stand as a lawful ground for eviction unless the property is self-acquired and they exercise full legal ownership rights. Even then, the eviction must follow due process of law and cannot be enforced arbitrarily or coercively. Additionally, if the person facing eviction is suffering from psychological disorders, their rights are protected under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016. Any action that amounts to discrimination or exploitation on the grounds of mental disability can be challenged legally. If there's evidence that coercion, emotional pressure, or misuse of the individual's mental condition is being used, a complaint can be made to the District Protection Officer under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007, or even under IPC provisions like criminal intimidation (Section 506 IPC). The affected person may also: Approach the police for protection, File an injunction suit to restrain eviction if the house is shared property or there's a claim to residence, Seek support from the State Mental Health Authority or Human Rights Commission in case of abuse due to mental health conditions.

If you are living peacefully in your step-parents' house and not causing any harm to them, they cannot just throw you out of the house because you don’t agree to their marriage plans for you. That is not legal. Even if the house belongs to them, they must follow proper legal procedures if they want you to leave, and they cannot misuse your mental health condition to take advantage of you. The law protects people with psychological disabilities from being mistreated or exploited. You have a right to live with dignity, and no one can force you into marriage or evict you without reason. If they try to harass you, you can complain to the police or take legal help. You may also be able to get free legal aid from the government.
