Get Legally Married

Ensure marriage is valid (under the Special Marriage Act or personal law).

File a Police Complaint

Submit a written complaint at the local police station detailing threats.

Ask for a diary number.

Approach SP/Commissioner

If local police don't act, write to the Superintendent of Police (SP) with marriage proof and threat details.

File a Writ Petition in High Court

If threats persist, file a Writ under Article 226 seeking police protection.

Attach ID proofs, marriage certificate/photos, and previous complaints.

Use Legal Support

Rely on judgments like Lata Singh v. State of UP and Shakti Vahini v. Union of India, which protect couples’ right to marry and get police protection.
