What happens legally if I leave home at 25?
Hi, I’m a 25-year-old woman. I’m mentally exhausted due to my family’s behavior. I want to live independently and peacefully. If I leave home, what legal consequences could arise? How can I prevent police involvement? Is there a legal way to avoid returning home if they find me?

At 25, you are legally an adult and free to live independently. Your family can’t force you to return. File a General Diary (GD) with the local police stating you left on your own. If they try to involve police, it will not be treated as kidnapping since you are an adult. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
