I am 25 years old and wish to marry of my own free will. However, I am confined at home and not allowed to go outside. My family is strongly resisting my decision. What steps can I take to file a bailiff application or a protection petition before marriage, as I am currently suffering at home?
ANSWER:
Thank you for writing to us and sharing your concern. You are 25 years old, therefore legally competent to marry according to your own free will under the law of Pakistan. However, before we proceed with filing any protection or bailiff petition on your behalf, it is very important that your fiancé also takes practical steps.
We advise that your fiancé should contact us directly so that we can understand his seriousness and intentions about proceeding with a court marriage. This will help us assess the situation properly and prepare the best legal course of action for you.
Once your fiancé is in touch with us, we can guide you both regarding the procedure for a free-will marriage, as well as filing for protection through the court if necessary.
You may ask him to contact us at +92 321 4610092 at the earliest.
