What action can I take against forced marriage?
For the past few months, I have been facing pressure from my father regarding marriage. This is affecting both my home environment and my office work. He is not on talking terms with us. I have told him that I will discuss it with him when I am ready, but the situation is still the same. I am extremely concerned about the mental pressure I am facing, as well as the pressure on my family members.
I realize how much pressure you are under, and I want you to realize that your emotions are real. Family pressures, especially about getting married, can become very stressful on individual autonomy and mental health. In the law, you are entitled to choose when and how to become married. For instance, Article 21 of the Indian Constitution safeguards individual freedom and personal autonomy, and analogous protections are in other legal traditions. It is perhaps a good idea to talk to a counselor or attorney in order to better understand your rights and protective options. Your well-being is more important, and your choice must be honored.

If you are facing pressure from your father regarding marriage, you have the right to choose your life partner.
