as you were a child at the time of marriage, as stated by you, the marriage is void. you may seek help of a lawyer to file a suit for declaration.
You have 2 remedies available under the law 1) Your marriage is void because you were a child at the time of marriage and you can proceed against your parents and her parents for forcing you to marry her. 2) make police complaint against the girl and her family.
my ld. friends are right but after attaining age of majority, you did not do anything so you have to file divorce or nullity with the help of local lawyer.
you may provide us your detail and may be we will help you.

the marriage being void the case of 498A will not stand.
