As per law, you still have not attained the age limit to be eligible for marriage which is 21 years for Men and for a girl 18 years which your girlfriend has already completed. So, you still have to wait for 2 more to legally get married with your girlfriend as with accordance to law unless you have separate custom law in case you belong to such scheduled Tribes.

As per Indian law, the legal age for marriage is: For girls: 18 years For boys: 21 years This is laid down under the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006 and the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, and applies regardless of religion, although there may be some variation under personal laws (like Muslim personal law, which is debated in courts when it comes to child marriage). Note: There is a proposal to raise the legal age of marriage for girls to 21 years (equal to boys), but as of now, the law remains at 18 for girls and 21 for boys. Child marriage is illegal but not void per se — it is voidable at the option of the minor party under the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act. In certain cases, it can be declared void if it involves force, fraud, or trafficking.
