I am 21, and the girl I love is 20. Her family recently found out about our relationship. Since then, they have confined her at home — not allowing her to go out alone, and they keep the main door locked at all times. She wants to leave home. What actions can she take? Can she seek help from the police or any other authority? What can I do to help her gain her freedom or leave home permanently?
If the girl is 20 and wants to leave, she has full legal right to do so. Holding her against her will is illegal. She can call the police or women’s helpline and seek protection. You can support her by helping her file a complaint or connect her with a lawyer or NGO for safe shelter. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
