Hi It is a misconceived notion that all of the complaints filed under SC/ST act will attract Scheduled Castes and Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act Please note that the POA (SC/ST) Act will be attracted only for certain offences.(detailed below). Since both of you intend to get married, you can always approach the nearby woman police station or get married at sub-registrar office or at Arya Samaj . Once both of you make your intention to get married, then all of your future in law's complaints will be confined to dustbin. Any person who is not a member of a scheduled caste or a scheduled tribe and commits an offence listed in the Act against a member of a scheduled caste or a scheduled tribe is an offender. The victim is a member of a scheduled caste or a scheduled tribe against whom any of the following offences is committed by the offender: 1. Forced to eat or drink an offensive or uneatable substance; 2. Caused annoyance, injury or insult by any excreta or waste matter being dumped in his premises or neighborhood; 3. Paraded naked or with painted face or body; 4. Wrongfully deprived of cultivation of his land; 5. Wrongfully deprived of his rights over any land, premises or water; 6. Forced to do beggary or work as a bonded labourer; 7. Prevented from exercising his right to vote or according to his wishes; 8. Subjected to false legal proceedings; 9. Caused injury or annoyance by a public servant on the basis of false information given to him; 10. Deliberately insulted and humiliated in public view; 11. A woman who is sexually assaulted; 12. Deprived of his right to clean drinking water; 13. Deprived of his right of passage to a public place; 14. Forced to leave his house or village; 15. Falsely implicated in a criminal case which might result in his imprisonment or execution; 16. Intended harm or injury by burning a place of his dwelling or worship; 17. Wrongfully caused injury or subjected to any other offence by a public servant
