If girl is major and is with you then nothing to worry otherwise as such there is no blanket protection in law.

1. If both the girl and boy are major in age , then even if there were to be complaints from the girl's parents to the Police/Court, then there will not be any problem for both the boy and girl.

2.  In case the girl turns hostile, then the boy has to have demonstrable evidence to prove that the girl indeed was in love with him and has now turned hostile due to brainwashing by her parents.

The boy and girl are major by age and if the girl is cooperating then they both can give an application directly to the superintendent of police seeking protection against her father for the anticipated acts of cruelty/violence/assault etc, including risk of their lives.

if possible you both can get secretly married and take refuge immediately in a nearby police station.

  1. Affidavit by the Girl: Have the girl create an affidavit stating she is in the relationship by her own free will, despite her family’s opposition. This should include any threats or pressure from her parents.

  2. Submit Affidavit to Police: Submit this affidavit along with a letter to the local police, alerting them to potential harassment or threats.

  3. Seek Police Protection: Both can apply to the superintendent of police for protection if they anticipate harm from her family.

  4. Evidence of Relationship: Keep evidence of their relationship, like messages or photos, to help if the girl later turns hostile due to family pressure.

  5. Marriage as a Last Resort: If the situation escalates, they may consider marriage as consenting adults, followed by seeking police protection.

These steps should provide a measure of legal safety against potential false claims or harassment.

Sir, if the girl is adamant and the boy is unsure whether she is committed as well, you should focus upon getting both of them confront each other and let them marry each other as after marriage no one can sue the boy in any court of law, provided they are both majors and eligible to marry each other legally. You need to consult some Advocate of your choice in order to check their eligibility.

- As per law, if they are major then none having right to restrain them from marrying with each other. 

- If father is threatening then both the boy and the girl can file a complaint before the police and higher official against them.

- This complaint will also safe the boy in case the girl hostile.

Dear Sir, 

You are suggested to have the conversations of the girl protected which is made out of her free will so that the same can be used as evidence whenever required.
