Your Legal Rights — Article 21
Article 21 of the Indian Constitution guarantees:
- Right to life — including freedom from family violence
- Right to personal liberty — including freedom to marry
- Right to dignity — including protection from forced separation
The Supreme Court (Lata Singh, Shafin Jahan, Shakti Vahini) has held that adult consent overrides family disapproval. Police and SDM offices must protect such couples.
Police Protection — How to Get It
- Visit our office with your partner (1 hour)
- We draft an Article 21 protection petition
- Both partners + witness sign joint affidavit of free consent
- Filed in Delhi High Court (typically 24-hour hearing)
- HC orders local SHO to provide protection
- Local police visits your address; protection registered
- You can call 100 anytime — flagged as protected couple
Safe House — Emergency Accommodation
If your family knows your address and threatens, we arrange:
- 3–7 days emergency stay at partner-network safehouses across Delhi
- Identity kept confidential — even from staff
- Located in different locality each time (no pattern)
- Affordable (₹500–1,500 per day)
This isn't a long-term solution — it's a bridge while we establish your legal protection and find you a permanent place.
Habeas Corpus — If Partner Is Held by Family
If your partner has been "taken away" by family and held against their will:
- File Habeas Corpus writ at Delhi High Court within 24 hours
- Court orders production of partner before judge
- Judge interviews partner privately to confirm consent
- If consent confirmed: partner released; you can take them home
- Filed and heard within 48 hours typically
Criminal Protection — If Threats Are Made
Section 506 IPC — Criminal Intimidation
Anyone threatening you or your partner with death, injury, or harm to property can be prosecuted. We file FIR at the relevant police station; police investigates; charge sheet filed if evidence is strong.
Section 376 IPC — False Rape Allegations
A common tactic: family files false rape FIR against the husband. Counter:
- Anticipatory bail application immediately
- Joint affidavit of consensual marriage produced
- Form-V certificate as evidence
- FIR quashed under Section 482 CrPC
SC/ST Act Protection
If one partner is from SC/ST community and the other family is upper caste, the SC/ST partner gets additional protection under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. Caste-based hate crimes are non-bailable.
Practical Tips for the First 7 Days After Marriage
- Both partners change phone numbers temporarily
- Block family on social media (they can still see public posts)
- Don't visit your hometown for the first 30 days
- Avoid common haunts (your favourite restaurant, gym, café)
- Carry digital + printed copies of: Form-V, Mandir certificate, joint affidavit
- Save our number on speed dial: 9315198092
- Inform your office HR — they can't disclose your address to family
- Update your office building security: only known visitors
- Keep emergency funds (₹5,000+ cash) accessible
What Police WILL NOT Do
- They will not "talk to your family" on your behalf
- They will not separate you from your spouse
- They will not register an FIR against you for marrying without family consent
- They will not assist family in "rescuing" the bride
If a police officer attempts any of the above, immediately call DCP or file a complaint with the Joint Commissioner of Police, Delhi. We help escalate.
Long-Term Safety Plan (Beyond 30 Days)
- Permanent address change (we help)
- Property in joint names (both partners on the lease/sale deed)
- Wills drafted naming each other as primary beneficiary
- Joint bank accounts (mitigates family financial coercion)
- If family becomes reconciliatory: legal mediation (we can facilitate)
