The girl has the right to live freely under Article 21 of the Constitution. If police or family abuse her, she can file a complaint with the State Women’s Commission or Human Rights Commission. She can also file a police complaint against anyone harassing or threatening her, regardless of family relation. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
