it is more of a social issue than legal. you are in a very delicate emotional sandwitch between your love and your parents whom you respect from the core of your heart. In such circumstances time is a very big healer but parents are not ready to give out time too. If you have a person to mediate, to whom parents would listen may help. Ofcourse, the states have been directed to take care of such situations. In fact, in punjab, they have made arrangement for such marriages and full protection to the couple. Here even that situation is not there because you do not want to marry without your parents acceptance, which is good.
