Legal age for marriage in India is 21 years for boy and 18 years for girl. As per law you have to wait another 3 years to marry your friend legally. There is no prohibition of marriage in between any caste boy and girl. If both of you are Hindus, your marriage will comes under hindu marriage act or if you are in different religion then special marriage act will apply
