How can I leave for my scholarship without legal issues?
I am 23 years old and have been offered a fully funded scholarship in another country by the government, which covers my university and dormitory fees, and I will receive a stipend every month. My visa and flight ticket are covered by my university. I have a stable income source for any additional expenses and enough savings for emergencies. However, my parents won’t let me go. I am considering running away from home, but I don’t want any legal action from my parents that could cancel my scholarship. If I provide all the necessary documents and information stating that I am leaving of my own will, will that be enough to prevent a missing person report from being filed against me? Or do I need to take other actions? My parents are both police constables, and the police officers in my area know me as their daughter, so they might not accept my statement. What can I do to prevent further legal action, and are there any legal procedures I should follow?
As a 23-year-old adult, you have the legal right to travel and study abroad without parental consent. To avoid legal issues, you should inform the local police in writing about your voluntary departure, along with copies of your passport, visa, admission letter, and scholarship details. To prevent a missing person report, you can also prepare a notarized affidavit stating that you are leaving by choice. Consulting a lawyer beforehand can help ensure a smooth process.
Since you are 23 years old, you are legally an adult and have the right to leave home and travel abroad for your scholarship. To prevent legal issues, submit a written statement to the local police stating that you are leaving voluntarily, along with copies of your passport, visa, university admission letter, and scholarship details. If you fear a missing person report, you can get your statement officially recorded before a magistrate or a notary to confirm your independent decision. Additionally, seeking legal advice from a lawyer can help ensure that no wrongful legal action is taken against you.
If your parents are against you leaving for your scholarship, first try talking to them and explaining your decision. Keep all your documents like scholarship, visa, and tickets to prove that you are leaving legally. To avoid a missing person report, inform the local police about your plans. If necessary, consult a lawyer to make sure you are following the right legal steps and to protect your from any legal action. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
