Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan

Please Help

I love--name removed--girl with all my life. When we met I did not knew her original age until she told me few weeks after we met and fell in love. Her original age is 15 and I am 19. In the beginning every things were ok and our love was growing more and more and we did meet few times at night, we talked and talked and went back to our homes. Just few weeks back her family suspected her of having relationship with some one, which is me, they beat her and mentally abused her from that day on to until today to find out what is going on but she did not tell them anything about me what so ever, she says she will die but will not give out my information. The thing is that we never had any sexual relationship what so ever, we love each other from the bottom of hearts until our last breath and we believe that marriage first then sex. But her parents are accusing her of having sexual relationship with me. In the beginning we thought that when she is 16 by the permission of her parents we will be able to get merry and will live happy there after but I guess it is never going to happen. I want to merry her ASAP, with or without her parent�s permission, so I can get her out of that torture house and live happily,please tell me what to do?

If she is really being abused, go to the authorities and she will most likely be placed in foster care. Otherwise, wait it out and she will be of age before you know it.

She cannot marry if she is younger than 18 years old, unless she has at least one parents permission and she is at least 16 years old.
