I have posted the same question before in this site and got back few replies.But now I wanted to add more points to it to have a more clear picture about the matter.So I am reposting the same question with some more points.
I am a girl who have been subjected to mental and physical torture by my father since the age of 7 and even today.My mother was always helpless in this situation.I couldn't collect any proof of this torture of my father because I didn't have any recorder or mobile phone.My father didn't allow me to experience the love of my mother.He always tried to separate me from my mother.My mother never spoke or reported about this torture as she was scared that her family pride and status would get ruined in the society.I was left alone and lost my childhood.He always abuses me verbally(bad words).I grew up without getting any love or care.I didn't file a case against my father only for the sake of my mother.At the age of 19, I fell in love with my best friend(elder to me), who is an employee, financially sound person and belongs to my religion and caste.Unfortunately, a girl who is his college friend along with her family emotionally blackmailed my boyfriend and his family to marry her.We still don't know the cruel motive behind the blackmail.Being terrified, he married her and after that he didn't accept her or maintain any physical relationship with her as he was loyal to me.This girl along with her family mentally abused my boyfriend and tried to create conflicts between him and his family members and filed a fake dowry case which was proved fake later on.After one year, he divorced her by mutual consent without giving any maintenance.Now he has got a divorce decree.This girl along with her parents came to my house and threatened me several times.I became a severe depression patient due to tragic incidents that happened in my life and now I have completely recovered.Since my boyfriend is a divorcee, my father and my mother's brother don't want me to marry him because they find marrying a divorcee to be something shameful.Both of them tortured me mentally and physically and also took away my mobile phone.My mother's brother threatened me that he would kill me and my boyfriend.I can't bear anymore this torture from my father and uncle.I want to marry my boyfriend and start a happy new life.I am 20 years old now.I want to leave my house and stay separately as I can't bear the physical and mental torture by my father and uncle.If I go and live separately in a hostel, will my father and uncle be able to bring me back home legally?If I file a complaint in the police station against the domestic violence of my father and uncle without any proof, will I be able to get my mobile phone and belongings(my official documents from my home) back and live separately in a hostel without any legal issues?I want to marry him as soon as possible through a register marriage.I am scared that my father and uncle would find out this during the 30 day objection period and house arrest me.I can't bear the separation anymore.In order to marry my boyfriend legally, is it necessary to have a medical certificate from my doctor claiming that I have completely recovered from depression and mentally fit now?How to save myself legally from this domestic violence and marry him safely?

A.Nobody has right to interfere if two adults get married, says Supreme Court
NEW DELHI: No one, either individually or collectively, has the right to interfere in a marriage between two consenting adults, a Supreme Court bench led by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Dipak Misra said on Monday.
The bench sternly told khap panchayats not to assume the role of conscience keepers of society and said courts would go by the law and not tradition and 'gotra' considerations to determine the legality of a marriage.
Senior advocate Narender Hooda, appearing for some khap panchayats, said khaps encouraged inter-caste and inter-faith marriages as they had permitted Haryanvi men to marry women from other states given the skewed sex ratio in the state.
