What legal protection exists against forced marriage and family pressure?
I am an adult woman. My family is forcing me to get married and emotionally pressuring me. They also tried to take away my phone. I want to know my legal rights and what protection I can get if I do not want this marriage.
As an adult woman, you have the full legal right to refuse any marriage against your wishes. Your family cannot legally force, threaten, confine, or emotionally pressure you into marriage. If you feel unsafe, you can immediately seek police protection, contact women helplines, or approach the High Court for safety and freedom. Keep all messages, recordings, or proof of pressure safely with you. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
