Marriage of a person with a girl whose age is below 18 is voidable. It will subsist until it is annulled by a court under the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, the Madras High Court said on Monday.
Such a marriage is not a “valid marriage” in the strict sense; but it is “not invalid,” it said.
Since you have specified that now your wife and you both are majors, you can only file for divorce for the same. 
If your in-laws are forcing/harassing you then you can also make a complaint against them.
