Ma'am, you can marry a man of your choice, parents cannot compel you to marry a person of your choice if you are major. After marriage you can seek police protection from session judge.
Regarding his beatings you can file a complaint under protection of woman from domestic violence act. But since your problem is more personal in nature its up to you to decide what to do. There is no point living with such a man.

You can file a complaint of domestic violence on the ground of harrasment and physical violence in court and can stop the nonsense acts of your father . You can also claim maintainence from your father in same petition.

Since he is your father I suggest to involve other family members or else you can file an application under section of Protection of woman from Domestic violence act and seek protection from your father

If you are major and feel aggrieved by the harassment given by your close family members then file a complaint of domestic violence and get the protection order from the Court of Judicial Magistrate 1st Class/Metropolitan Magistrate, where you have been living, by engaging an Advocate.
