Parents are beating me for I'm not obeying them


29-Aug-2026 (In Family Law)
I’m a 23F, but my parents control everything. They booked a school van/man to take me to college, don’t let me go outside or even open windows. I recently moved to a separate room for privacy, which upset them because they can’t spy on me 24/7. During my mandatory 3-month Bangalore internship, my father hired someone at my hostel to monitor me and forced 24/7 location sharing. I only went work↔hostel. Today I was hit with a rod, yesterday with slipper, and my hair was pulled. I have video.

Since you are major, you are free to live your life in your own way, if anyone commits any hindrance, it would be counted as an infringement of your Right to Life. Best remedy is to file an informatory petition before the court of CJM and thereafter send a legal notice to your parents affixing that informatory petition with that. Still if they continues to hamper your Right to dignified life then you can lodge a case against them as well.

English Response : As a 23-year-old adult, you have fundamental rights to life, liberty, and privacy. What your parents are doing is completely illegal. The physical abuse you faced constitutes Domestic Violence and criminal offenses. My advice is to secure your video evidence on a cloud drive. You are legally free to leave the house at any time and preventing you is a crime. Call the Women Helpline 1091 or Emergency Police 112 immediately if you feel threatened. You can file a formal Police Complaint FIR regarding the physical assault, and also file a petition under the Domestic Violence Act to get a Protection Order from the Magistrate to ensure your safety. Hinglish Response : Ek 23 saal ki adult hone ke nate, aapke paas azaadi aur privacy ka pura fundamental right hai. Aapke parents jo kar rahe hain wo legally galat hai. Jo maarpeet aapke sath hui hai, wo Domestic Violence aur criminal offense ki category me aati hai. Meri advice hai ki aap apne video evidence ko kisi cloud drive par safe rakhein. Aap apni marzi se ghar chhodne ke liye swatantra hain aur agar wo rokte hain to ye crime hai. Khatra mehsus hone par turant Women Helpline 1091 ya Police 112 par call karein. Aap in physical assaults ke khilaf police station me FIR darj karwa sakti hain, aur Domestic Violence Act ke tahat court me case file karke Magistrate se Protection Order bhi le sakti hain taki aapko police protection mil sake.

As a 23-year-old adult, you hold absolute constitutional rights to your personal liberty, privacy, and bodily autonomy. Subjecting you to physical beating with a rod and constant surveillance amounts to grave criminal offenses along with actionable domestic violence. Immediately back up all video evidence, injury records, and surveillance proofs to a secure cloud drive. You have the right to file an urgent petition under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act (PWDVA) seeking immediate court Protection Orders restraining your family from any form of violence, surveillance, or entry into your room. Additionally, a formal complaint can be lodged with the local police or Women Helpline (1091) for physical hurt, assault, and unlawful confinement. For immediate drafting of an emergency protection application and guided police representation, you can schedule a direct consultation through my profile.
