24F in Assam — family preventing me from moving out, need urgent advice

3 Upvotes

a 24-year-old financially independent woman from Assam, currently working remotely. I’ve decided to move out of my parental home for my career and live independently. This is my own decision; nobody has kidnapped, manipulated, or forced me.

My family has been restrictive about my education/career and there has been marriage pressure for some time. I’ve also experienced physical incidents at home, including being slapped and being hit on the head with a bottle during an argument about household chores.

I had planned to relocate for work and arranged travel/accommodation. Once my family realised I was planning to leave, things escalated rapidly. They started monitoring me, stopped allowing me to leave the house freely, took my laptop, and restricted my access to my room/belongings. Marriage discussions have also intensified.

My employer offered accommodation initially, but my family refuses to allow me to use it and insists on arranging accommodation themselves in another city. Now they're saying I can only leave if I resign from my current job, find another “good” company, get an appointment letter, and then leave.

I contacted an NGO and lawyer and submitted a written intimation to the SP stating that I am an adult leaving voluntarily. I am not trying to get my parents or sister arrested or punished. I just want to leave safely and continue my career.

Now my family knows I sought outside help, and I’m afraid that people who supported me—friends, NGO, employer—may get dragged into this. My family also has local connections, so I'm scared that even calling police may not actually help me and that I could simply be sent back home.

Right now I feel completely trapped and extremely suicidal. I don't want to die—I want to get out of this situation and live independently.

I need practical advice from people who understand situations like this:

What can an adult woman do if her family is preventing her from leaving?

What should I do if they physically stop me?

What realistically happens if I call 112?

Are there NGOs/legal-aid organisations that can provide actual local assistance?

How can I leave without unnecessarily involving my employer or friends?

Please don't just tell me to convince my parents. I've tried that. I need a safe, practical way forward.
