I am sorry to say marriage between minors are not permissible under Law in India. I suggest both of you to concentrate in your studies, establish yourselves in the society and wait for the right time to come. God bless.

Hello dear,
our law does not allow us to marry at this age.. As per law min.21 years for boys and 18 yrs for girls is the criteria. I personally think that you both should concentrate on your studies now and later inform your parents and then go ahead with their blessings.
