You could get married to the guy of your liking provided the marriage is legal in the eyes of law. You can also get a protection order in your favour seeking protection against any attempts of homour killing. I hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards

Yes, you can marry in Uttarakhand. In addition, once you get your marriage registered at the Registrar's Office you can also file a Writ in the High Court under A226 read with Sec 482 of the Cr.PC for getting police protection from the High Court in order to secure your life and liberty.
