Dear Client, Since you are just 16 year old, so, it will come under Child marriage prohibition Act. You should take the help of police or file a complain petition in the respective Court of law against your family member.

Dear Mam, It doesn't matter that which religion you belong. the act of your family members is illegal and against human rights. You should complain against your family members who torturing you and forcing you to get marriage to Nearest police station, SP, Magistrate, human rights commission, Mahila Thana etc. you can send registered complain also. You can also complain under Domestic Violence Act against your Family members who beat you. you can take a help of some NGOs. Section 3 of the Domestic Violence Act, 2005 states that what constitutes domestic violence according to which domestic violence shall include: - (a) Threats to health, safety, life etc, whether mental or physical, including physical abuse, sexual abuse, verbal and emotional abuse and economic abuse; or (b) Harassment through any forms such as harms, injuries to the aggrieved person by coercing her or any other person related to any unlawful demand for dowry or other property or valuable security; or (c) Otherwise injuring or causing harm, through physical or mental means to the aggrieved person. Secondly you asked for living the home , according to me you should fight as you have a right in your ancestral property (if any) and take a right step for yourself, in other hand if you are independent girl or working women you can do it.

You should approach women commission for help and there u would explain your difficulties, they will provide you necessary help. You can also lodge FIR agianst your parents but in my view that should be the last option.
