Three days into her marriage in May, she was subjected to domestic violence and her husband even prevented her from contacting her parents, a woman has claimed.
She has now been rescued by the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) in collaboration with the Uttar Pradesh Police.
The woman had sent an email to the commission seeking help. She alleged in the email that her husband physically abused her and "imprisoned" her at their Dadri residence.
Her husband did not allow her to contact her parents, according to DCW.
After receiving the email, DCW chairperson Swati Maliwal ordered the mobile helpline to form a team and rescue her.
She is now staying at a shelter home in Delhi.

She told the commission that she was married to Dadri resident Mohan (name changed) in May, 2017, and within three days of their wedding, her husband started physically abusing her.
She also detailed how her movements were restricted. She was forbidden from leaving the home or contacting anyone.
After facing the abuse for months, the woman finally gained the courage to contact the commission and was rescued, according to a statement issued by DCW.
The woman, a native of UP's Bulandshahar, said she did not wish to return to her husband's or her father's home.
Maliwal said though the case was from Uttar Pradesh, the commission helped the woman on humanitarian grounds.
