Re: child marriage
Yes, all the advice given by my colleagues is correct. As you were not an adult, your marriage is null and void under Section 5 Hindu Marriage Act. You will need to take serious advice from a competent lawyer and family friends about this matter, since it may affect many lives.
However, your marriage has no meaning. You may decide your future course of action after due consultation with others.

do whatever u like
Re: child marriage
Your issue can be sorted out by police, but be careful your parents will be arrested and taken to jail.
In fact your marriage is invalid and void in law.
there is nothing anybody can do.
Please tell your parents, talk to them and convince them.
Your friends can do this if you are afraid.

Re: child marriage
You have not mentioned your religion but however for Hindus as per law the age of the marriage of boy is 21 hence you may file petion for nullity of the marriage within one year after completing 18 if you not consummate the marriage as at the time of marriage you were minor and not competent to give the consent. For further details contact me or any lawyer.
