Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Singapore

I am a 15 years old girl from Singapore and I have a girlfriend who is 18 years old from Thailand. My parents have found out about our relationship and has proof that we have kissed and cuddled under the bed. They wish to deport her because they consider this sexual. I have done my research and

" Rape � A man commits "rape" when he has sexual intercourse with a woman under circumstances falling under any of the five following descriptions:

(a) against her will;

(b) without her consent;

(c) with her consent, when her consent has been obtained by putting her in fear of death or hurt;

(d) with her consent, when the man knows that he is not her husband, and her consent is given because she believes that he is another man to whom she is or believes herself to be lawfully married or to whom she would consent;

(e) with or without her consent, when she is under 14 years of age.

However, sexual intercourse by a man with his own wife, the wife not being under 13 years of age, is not rape.[75] The penalty for rape is imprisonment for up to 20 years, and also a fine or caning.[76] Where a man, in order to commit or to facilitate the commission of an offence of rape, voluntarily causes hurt to a woman or to any other person, or puts the woman in fear of death or hurt to herself or any other person, he shall be punished with imprisonment for not less than eight years and not more than 20 years and shall also be punished with not less than 12 strokes of the cane. The same penalty applies to the commission of rape by having sexual intercourse with a woman under 14 years of age without her consent.[77] It should be noted that under the Women's Charter,[78] any person who has carnal connection with any girl below the age of 16 years except by way of marriage is guilty of an offence and is liable on conviction to imprisonment of up to five years and a fine not exceeding S$10,000.[79] As this offence raises the age of consent for females from 14 to 16 years, cases of underage sex are usually charged under the Women's Charter rather than the Penal Code. (The offence is often called 'statutory rape', although this is a term used in U.S. law.) "

Apparently , my girlfriend is neither male , nor did she attempt to have sexual intercourse with me , also i am above 14 , which is the legal age. So is it still possible to deport my girlfriend with persistence ?
