If the girl is major and confined against her will is against law. It is illegal to detain anyone regardless of relation with them. You have few remedies

1. You can file complaint in local police that you both want to marry and her parents are illegally detained her. Police will do the rest.

2. You can file a Writ Petition Habeas Corpus in High Court.

In order to exercise your rights, seek help of a competent advocate in your area. Good Luck
