In India, a male can marry after his 21st birthday and a girl, after her 18th birthday. After such age, you can marry under the Special Marriage Act. As she is older, this is a problem. She should ideally refuse to marry and she cannot be married against her wishes. There is nothing you can do at this stage, till you turn 21. I wish you luck.

Yes sir you can marry as you are adult so you both have a right to chose your partner as per your will and liking and you both belong to different community so you can marry under special marriage act.

Marriage is valid but under the provision of child marriage prohibition act this is punishable under section 6 but child marriage prohibition act is not a henious offence but the same is a bailable offence.
