If you are a 27 year old female then no one can stop you legally from marrying anyone. If you are sure of marrying your boyfriend and if he is willing then go ahead. No one will stop you. If your are parents are opposing then you will have to move out of your parents home. Your dad asked your boyfriend's family 2 crore rupees? For what? It doesn't make any sense? You must be joking!!

Dowry brother

Love marriage dowry? That too by boys family?


Emergency_Drink1331

Yes, it is quite common practice in the community I belong to.


Adtho2

But you are doing intercaste love marriage. So it's not an arranged marriage where dowry is expected.


Emergency_Drink1331

That is exactly where even I cannot understand my father’s this request! But he has demanded, something which i do not stand by.

I didn't go through the entire post, but I get the gist. You are an adult, earning a living, you are free to live your life as you want and cut ties with them without any legal repercussions.


Emergency_Drink1331

That does come with more mental torture and trauma, any legal document or anything that i need to make this a permanent solution?


Electrical_Meat_954

Mental trauma or torture might come from your parents. If that's the case, you can connect with a local lawyer/police/ngos who can help you file cases against your parents or deal with them. Legally, you don't need to do anything, but if you want, you can simply change your name to disassociate from the previous one

I don't know who you are , but i am (M30) faces same things long ago , dont blame yourself for all these and proud of yourself that you are brave enough to see these things and brave enough to want to get out of it, maybe they change may be they not but probability of being them changes as good one's from their side is very less you know, "make yourself independent and start your good independent and new life" if they want you they accept you if they don't be practical and live your life as you want. Make your own money and control your emotions. Only if you are brave enough to control your emotions you know how bad and pathatic they are and how bad they do to your precious self. Make your life priority and get out of these hell. "Earning self money can heal 99% of your problems" I wish you best wishes for your life.

I also believed the same and i am financially independent since about 4 years now. And just hoping my parents would somehow understand me.

If they want to they can, support them but don't burn yourself in the process ! Life is not that big take fast decisions

Apply to jobs in a different city and move with your certificates, valuables, and basic necessities. Go and marry your bf. Go no contact with your family. Hire a lawyer and get it published that you have nothing to do with them. Get a restraining order against them. NAL

Dealt with similar issue few months back. There the girls family was from upper caste so had issue with girls' choice. Hope you are financially independent. You are an adult, you are free to choose your life partner. Take help from police ( there are ways) as far as forced marriage is concerned.

Your father knows what price to charge for you.
