If a boy and girl are ready for marriage, but their parents are not, what should they do? Can the girl’s parents stop the marriage if the boy and girl are ready?

In India, the legal age for marriage is 18 for females and 21 for males. While parental consent is generally expected, it is not legally mandatory for adults to marry with their parents’ approval. However, the couple should engage in respectful communication and consider the concerns of their families before proceeding with the marriage.
