Legal Question in Family Law in India

Can parents do anything in this case, please help :(?

According to Indian law, if a boy who is above 21 years of age and a girl who is above 18 years of age wish to marry, can the parents of either party legally do anything to prevent the marriage?The important points are these :

1)The girl and boy are both Hindus but belong to different states in India

2)The girl was born in the US, but presently lives in India and so holds a US passport, but the boy has an Indian passport.

Please tell me whether the parents of either party can legally do anything to prevent the marriage?

No. The parents are not legally competent to stop this marriage if both the parties - the boy and the girl - are wanting to marry of their "free will".

First of all you have to tell us yours and your GF city detail, How long she is in India, Your family status and your GFs family status to guide you properly.

Coz there are lots of legal things which could be done by your parents to prevent your marriage and even parents of the girl can make such a situation that you along with your family will be behind the bars. So plz be carefull to take this step and hire any good lawyer to prevent both of you legally and also provide you security through Police person and thorough state.
