According to Hindu Marriage Act the minimum age for a girl to get married is 18 years and minimum age for a boy to get married is 21 years. Therefore you need cannot get married unless you attain age of 21 years.

You both are major, but your age is still 20, you cannot marry till you attain the age of 21. My suggestion is better to convince her parents with the help of elders. Try it, if they didn't agree for it then you both take your decision.
