Presuming both of you are adults and want to marry without changing your religion then you can get married under the provisions of Special Marriage Act.
You have to give a writen notice in the specified form (form can be procured from vendors) to the Marriage Officer of the district where at least one of you have resided for a period of at least 30 days prior to giving of aforesaid notice. The marriage officer will get it published in the Notice Board of his office as well as ensure that notice is also published in the Register of Marriages of the district where parties are permanently residing. Any person can make objections regarding non compliance of the procedure and competence to marriage like age, etc before the expiry of 30 days from the publication of notice. After expiry of 30 days of the notice, Sub Registrar/ Marriage Officer will register the marriage after the parties sign the deceleration form in presence of three witnesses. (Your friends,etc can act as witness). You will be provided a certificate by the registrar. Requirement of lawyer is not mandatory but hiring a lawyer will smoothen the process. Regarding post marriage threats, you can get protection from the local police or approach the courts in case police refuses to help you.

The marriage will be solemnised before Registrar (marriages), Special Marriage Act in the District where you two are situated. Documents required include valid address, identification (photo) ID proof for both of you, some passport size photographs, 4 witnesses and also the valid address, ID proof of the witnesses. Also, you two will have to perform your marriage at a temple, preferably and get valid certificate of marriage issued by Aarya Samaj, which shall be presented before the Registrar. As far as the question of your security is concerned, the relevant Police Station will have to be informed in writing who will take care of the situation. In any case, you go to the Court seeking police protection by filing a writ of mandamus. I hope this reply helps you.

Sir, your marriage shall be registered by the registrar under Special Marriage Act. But sir the basic requirements are at least two witnesses to the marriage, identity proof of the parties and documents showing the majority of the parties. I think your friends may be witnesses to this marriage. As far as post marriage issues are concerned, you need help of police in case of threats etc. not of a lawyer as a lawyer may provide you the legal consultation not the security.

According to Prohibition of Child Marriage Act a girl can legally marry only after completing the age of 18 years of age and that of boy is 21 years. Any marriage that is solemnized without compliance with the same will be illegal. An agreement to marry executed by a girls below 18 years of age will not pass the judicial scrutiny. If their parents are forcing her to marry before she is 18 years then you can bring it to the knowledge of the local administration like District Magistrate, Social Welfare Officer, Police, etc. It is punishable offence.
