Consent before the age of 18 is not presumed to be valid consent for the purposes of the Indian Penal Code. So in case there is any complaint to the police, it may be seen as 'rape' under IPC and you may be charged for an offence, especially if you are above 18 years of age.

Having physical relation with a girl below 18 years is prohibited under POCSO Act.
Her consent will be valid only after she attains majority i.e. 18 years. And till then her parents are her guardian.
For suggesting what you should do i need more details about your case.
