Yes, in India, any adult (18+ years) woman has the legal right to leave her parental home and resist forced marriage under Article 21 of the Constitution (right to life and personal liberty) and the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006. She can seek help from the police, women's helpline (181), or approach organizations like the National Commission for Women, and if needed, can also file a petition in court for protection.

एक 20 साल की लड़की को भारत में कानूनी रूप से एक वयस्क माना जाता है. इसका मतलब है कि वह अपने जीवन के बारे में अपने स्वयं के निर्णय लेने के लिए स्वतंत्र है, जिसमें शादी करना या नहीं करना भी शामिल है.आगे की किसी भी जानकारी के लिए हमसे संपर्क करें।
