Answer:
I would take my chances that way if I had to fight for love, freedom or security.
Explanation:
From the context of your question, we can assume that you are referring to the play "Romeo and Juliet" where Juliet takes her place in the family by marrying in secret to Romeo, who belonged to an enemy family of hers.
As stated in the question, Juliet lived in a society where she was completely dependent on her parents and had neither permission nor authority to make any decisions about her life. However, she faced it out of love. I believe that, in my case, I would take the same risk as she if I knew true love, as she did. Also, I would take a risk that way, to protect someone in the family, or to get rid of a very negative situation. Those would be the only ways I would break the authority of my family that I was dependent on.
