You can marry a person of your choice if both of you are not minor and not from prohibited relations. You can Lodge a complaint to police station and also ask for protection,, marry with him under Hindu marriage act if both of you are Hindu otherwise marry under special marriage act. And be sure that your marriage is registered legally under above said provisions.

You should immediately approach your nearest police station and your area SP/ DCP. Give a written complaint to them explaining your ordeals. Being cognizable offences u/s 506/323/ 342/346/34 IPC. At the same time you can also approach your area judicial magistrate praying for appointment of protection officer to you under domestic violence act. You both have attained the age of majority and are free to marry with the person of your choice. You may go ahead and marry. All the best!

Madam, you may file an appropriate complaint with the local police against your family members and seek their protection. If the police does not act on your complaint you may file an application before the concerned MM's court seeking those protections
