According to the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, legal age for a girl to marry is 18 and for a boy it is 21. So, in your case, untill attains the age of 21, court marriage will not be legally possible. So better wait for one year after completion of 21 years you can apply for court marriage.

There is no illegality in you both being adult, staying together in a live-in relationship. Even supreme court has approved this relationship in a latest judgment.

Since you have not attained marriageable age, i.e., 21 years, you can live with her in relationship which nobody can object.

If you apprehend any trouble from any quarter you may better seek protection from police in this regard 

You both ca get married when you turn 21 years old under the provisions of special marriage act.

Prohibition of Child Marriage Act states that a girl in India can’t marry before the age of 18, and a boy before 21.

Wait till you attain marriageable age , after attaining marriageable age which is 21 both of you can marry under special marriage act

If parents forcing then lodge complaint against them
