1. You have attained the age of majority. All the rights which accrue to an adult accrue to you as well. As a citizen of India you have the right to walk out of your parental home at any time. You may select a life partner of your own choice without respect to the individual proposed by your parents. If you desire to convert to Hinduism then your parents can impose no embargo on your right to convert as every citizen of India is free to practice, profess and propagate a religion of his own choice. Similarly you have the right to take up any employment.
2. You do not need your parents permission to marry the guy you love. You may marry your lover despite your parents' opposition to your marriage.
3. If you are being held against your will by your parents then you may move to High Court for being released and also afforded police protection. Your lover may move the court on your behalf. Court will not only order your release but also award you protection from any kind of further harassment by your parents.
4. Honour killing is a reality in India. If you apprehend that your family members may resort to such an extreme step then it is expedient that you obtain protection from the High Court. Courts are awarding death sentences to those found guilty of committing honour killings.
1. You are an adult living in a democratic country named India. You have every right not only to continue to do your job but also to live your life the way you please within the frame work of law. Marrying in other religion is very much lawful in our country,
2. You can wait for any time and do your job till then for which no body has any right even to make an attempt to stop you,
3. As per Special Marriage Act, a Muslim girl can marry a Hindu boy even without changing her religion. Both can continue to follw their own faith if they wish,
4. You dad is wrong. His theory is applicable in Afganisthan, Sudan etc., not in India,
5. Lodge a police complaint immediately if you feel that some foolish attempt on you, in the name of so called honour kiiling, may be made on you,
6. Ask for protection on this account.
