No!

Minimum age for males is 21 years, you will have to wait until you complete 21 years of your age.

There is punishment provided under law to those who marry under the legal agr of marriage.

So, don't hurry, just wait for some months to complete 21 years of age.

THERE IS NO BAR UNDER THE HINDU MARRIAGE ACT, 1955 OR NAY OTHER LAW FOR THE TIME BEING IN FORCE WHICH PROHIBITS THE YOUNG PERSON TO MARRY OLDER AGED LADY. IN ANY CASE SHE SHOULD NOT BE LESS THAN THE AGE OF 18 YEARS. THE LADY SHOULD NOT HAVE THE LIVING SPOUSE AT THE TIME SOLEMNIZATION OF MARRIAGE. IN FACT BOTH THE PERSONS, BRIDE AND GROOMS HAVE PERFORM THE "SAPTAPADI" BEFORE HOLY FIRE. THE ONLY RITUAL UNDER THE LAW WHICH MANDATES CORRECT METHOD AND MANNER OF PERFORMING MARRIAGE.
