Domestic violence

I am going for love marriage. We are from different caste. My parents are ready for our marriage. When we told to her parents, then they forcefully took her to home and not allowing her to do job. Since 7 months she is at home. They took her mobile; disconnect their landline phone to avoid our contact. Also they not allow any phone call from our friends, classmates and her relatives also. They emotionally blackmail her; we will not allow u do marriage with me at any cost and sometimes slap her. They not allow her to go outside home. We request them to allow her for job, but they refused. Can I file a case of domestic violence against them? Regarding not allowing marriage and harassing her. Please help me. Will court or police handle her to me after filing case?

You do not have locus standi to file any complaint against her parents.  If she is more than 18, then she can come out of house and if any one restrains her free movement, she can file a complaint against them.

u may file a writ petition of habeas corpus against them

I disagree, you can file a case under DV on her behalf.

 

But do that only, if you are sure that she would depose in your favor.
