Quick Summary

If you are over 18 and facing abuse or forced marriage, your parents cannot legally force you to return home or take you back. As an adult, you have the right to live independently. If you can support yourself financially, you are free to leave. Should your family try to pursue you, you can file a complaint with the police for protection and take legal action against them.

Are you a job holder? If you go from your house, how can you live? It is not an easy thing to leave your home. So you clearly say to your parents that you are a major and if they force you will give a complaint to the Police Station against them and to protect yourself from marriage.

You are an adult and no more a child that you have to be under the custody of your parents.
You can take a decision either to continue to live in your house under the given circumstances or to leave the house and live independently.The main factor that will affect you is your independent income which is the criteria, if you are able to sustain your expenses and take care of yourself independently then you can very well walk out of your house and in case they still follow you up then you can give a complaint to the police and seek protection.
