You are a Major and you have every right to choose your Partner or to marry or not to marry. Nobody can harrass you to marriage. You can file a complaint to police/ Child and Women Welfare Committee for coercion. You can also subit a complaint to Magistrate under s. 12 of Domestic Violence Act against your parents as they have covered under the Act.

You are major and you have the right to proceed with the marriage. You can file a complaint against any person who is restraining your personal right of living
