Love marriage

The below mentioned issue is involves my brother-in-law and would welcome any suggestion/help from legal stand point -

My brother-in-law is 28+yrs old and was or rather is still in relationship with a woman who is 32 yrs old, both were in love for 2+yrs and had been working together in a private company. His parents had approved of his relationship since they wanted him to settle down. However the her father did not approve of this relationship siting caste/age as a reason. And threatened his daughter by stating he would die and got her get engaged to a different person [who's family wasn't aware this until we had disclosed about the relationship].

The woman in question had agreed to move on since her father threatened/blackmailed to marry another person, however is still in love with my brother-in-law [who is still ready to accept her in his and had decided not to marry anyone else except whom he loves.

Is there any help/suggestion from a legal stand point in this case?

What legal suggestion you need on this cause of action......

As both are major's with proper conscience and attitude,they know better what to do and what not to do. On the issue of marriage it's couple wish to go ahead for marriage or not and if anybody obstruct or abett or sustain any threat's to them then this is beyond constitutional act's on which a writ can be filed in the HC if the above cause crosses it's limit's and bifercate those two couple's and not let them to live happily....

So,ask your BIL if they both are ready to marry knowing the all consequences and are sure to face their parent's then nobody can stop them.

The law of land do not prevent them from marrying each other, both are mature enough, employed and independent hence can decide about further course of action. The threat by the girl's father is temporary, dont pay any heed to it;

They both are adult / major ,both are doing job , both are of sound mind ,knows what's right and wrong ,able to take decision of their own future, then tell to your BIL to marry her ,go ahead , if both are agree to marry then don't worry be happy.
