Who May Seek Help
- Adult couples (both parties of legal marriageable age: 21 years male, 18 years female) who face threat, harassment, or fear of forced separation due to family or community opposition to their relationship.
- Interfaith or inter-caste couples who wish to marry legally and seek protection from interference.
- Couples who have already married and face ongoing harassment or threats.
The firm can advise on whether a protection petition is appropriate in your circumstances, what it can and cannot achieve, and which courts have jurisdiction.
Protection Petition Before Punjab & Haryana High Court
The Punjab & Haryana High Court has jurisdiction to pass protection orders directing police authorities to ensure the safety of a couple. The petition is typically filed under Article 226 of the Constitution or under the court's inherent jurisdiction.
What a protection order can do:
- Direct local police to ensure the couple is not harassed or threatened by specified persons.
- Prevent interference with the couple's right to live together as adults.
What a protection order cannot do:
- Guarantee physical safety at all times or in all locations.
- Override all family or community pressures.
- Permanently resolve underlying family disputes.
The effectiveness of a protection order depends on local enforcement. The firm will assess your specific facts and advise on realistic expectations.
Court Marriage Under the Special Marriage Act, 1954
If the couple has not yet married, court marriage under the Special Marriage Act, 1954 provides a legally recognised civil marriage regardless of religion. The process involves a 30-day public notice period, which may be a consideration for couples concerned about privacy.

Emergency Steps If Safety Is At Risk
If you or your partner face an immediate threat:
- Contact the police immediately — call 112 or your nearest police station.
- A protection petition is a legal remedy; it is not a substitute for immediate police assistance in an emergency.

Documents Typically Required for a Protection Petition
- Identity proof for both parties (Aadhaar, passport)
- Proof of age confirming both parties are adults
- Details of the threats received (messages, witnesses, incidents)
- Address proof
- Affidavit describing the facts and the protection sought
Specific requirements depend on the facts of the case. Consult the firm for a complete document checklist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the court guarantee our protection?
The court can pass a legal order directing police to ensure safety, but physical safety in all circumstances cannot be guaranteed by any court order alone. The couple should take practical safety precautions and contact police directly in any emergency.
Is there a fee for a protection petition?
Court marriage and protection petition fees vary and depend on the complexity of the matter. Contact the firm at +91-9814110005 to discuss fee structure.
What if the couple has already married?
Even after marriage, the firm can assist with a protection petition if the couple faces ongoing harassment or threats. Proof of marriage (certificate or other evidence) will be relevant to the petition.
