Yes, your daughter stands legally eligible to marry as she attains 18 years, which is the minimum legal marriage age for women under Section 5(iii) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (corresponding provisions in other personal laws). For its validity, both parties to the marriage must give valid consent, and no forbidding degrees of relationship should stand under the applicable law. If the parties belong to different religions, they may marry under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, which requires a 30-day notice period at the Marriage Registrar's office. By complying with such requirements, the marriage is legally recognized.
In India, the legal age for marriage is currently 18 years for women, as prescribed by the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006.

For instance, consent needs to be taken, and the marriage should be registered with the relevant authorities. There are discussions on increasing the minimum age for women to marry to 21 years, but currently, your daughter is legally allowed to go ahead with her marriage plans.
