Legally, it cannot be done .You are major now and you can your take your own decision. This is not an issue and It can be solved within the family members, just try to discuss with your parents about your unwillingness to get in to the marriage life and them to give to time to take a decision. They will feel your feelings and everything will be solved , don't worry.

Hello,

You are major so no one can force you for your marriage. You have all the rights to tKe decision on your own. If anyone force you then you can give police complaint against them. But if your parents proposal is good then you may rethink.

No body can force you to marry. Try to convince your parents. If it is not feasible to talk to them directly talk through your friend or relative who is close to you. If you have valid reasons they would definitely understand.

You will have to make your parent/relatives to understand that you are not ready for the marriage. Your marriage is already fixed for 8th June, What were you doing till the marriage was fixed. Is it possible for you to inform the boy that you are not interested in the marriage? Now that the invitations are all printed & distributed, it is embarrassing for everyone to stop the marriage. Also it will effect your future marriage prospects and people will think that you are having some problems (affairs) etc. You need to talk to me for proper counselling. You cannot do anything without proper counselling. If you stop the marriage, it may be a disaster. Kindly contact me.
