Forced marriage and physical abuse are illegal. You can file a complaint under Section 85 OF Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Domestic Violence Act. If you are 18+, you can marry anyone by choice. Go to the Sub-Registrar’s office with your partner and documents for court marriage under the Special Marriage Act. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
