My boyfriend doesn’t want to solemnise the marriage against the will of his parents

My boyfriend doesn’t want to solemnise the marriage against the will of his parents. What do I do if the parents of my boyfriend do not accept me because of caste. My boyfriend is also telling me that he will marry after they agree, otherwise we have to choose our own paths. How do I marry him !? Is this possible in the present situation?

You both are adults and attained valid age for marriage. In this situation, consent of parents is not necessary. You can solemnise marriage with your own consent. 

However, if your boyfriend is unwilling to go against his parents’ wishes and marry you, you cannot force him to do so. In this situation, it may be beneficial to speak with his parents and attempt to convince them to agree to the marriage. 

Inter-caste marriage is legally valid under the provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act, and there are no legal obstacles to an inter-caste marriage. If his parents are willing to accept your relationship, you can proceed with the marriage.
