While court marriage under the Special Marriage Act is a legal option, requiring just 30 days' notice to the Marriage Registrar, valid ID proofs, age proof, and three witnesses, you should be aware that legal adult marriages cannot be prevented by family members once registered properly. However, consider approaching counselors or legal experts first to mediate with families and explore all options, as eloping could lead to personal and legal complications.
If both parties are above 18 (female) and 21 (male), marriage under the Special Marriage Act is legally valid even without parental consent, but requires a 30-day notice period during which anyone can object to the marriage. However, if you believe there's a threat to your safety, you can approach the police or file a protection petition in court, as forced marriage is illegal under Indian law.
