In a case where a girl leaves her home without informing her parents and is later abused by her parents and even the police, what legal rights and protections are available to her?
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.
