Dear Madam, Since you have attained the age of majority and crossed marriageable age, you can marry without the consent of elders. If you are financially not independent then it is difficult for you to maintain your family after marriage. In India the High Court and Police Stations extend protection against the troubles that may be given by your respective parents.
