Can I marry 19 year old girl if I am 18 year

her parents cannot force her to marry anyone without her consent. if they are you can pursue criminal action against them.
though the marriageable age for a guy is 21 and so now you have to wait to marry. but she cannot be forced to marry anyone else

I presume that you both are Hindus by birth and there are two distinct issues i.e of "Age of majority" and Legal age for marriage" are there and both cannot be confused. No doubt a person attains the age of majority on completion of the age of 18 years as per the Indian Majority Act 1875, but LEGAL AGE for marriages purposes is fixed as 18 years for the girl and 21 years for the boy, as per the THE PROHIBITION OF CHILD MARRIAGE ACT, 2006. so even though your fiance is eligible for getting marriage but before the eyes of law you being the boy is still not eligible to get married and you will have to wait for 2 more years. If you get married now it will be falling under Child Marriage and you both will be in trouble. so ask her to postpone any other marriage proposals for 2 more years and in the mean time you try to settle down and discuss about your marriage later. Getting married at this tender age may be many a times emotional so take your time and settle down with her after 2-3 years. Good luck.
