Yes if they are of marriageable age viz.boy is 21 & girl is 18 years, then they can go for registered marriage, however, it is advisable to seek local police help for your own safety and protection lest you may face trouble from both the community elders/khap panchayat.

6.Two Hindu/Special marriage passport size photographs of both the parties and one marriage photograph.
7.Marriage invitation Hindu marriage card, if available.

8. Hindu marriage If marriage was solemnized in a religious place, a certificate from the priest is required who solemnized the marriage.

9.Rs. 10/- in case of Hindu Marriage Act and 15/- in case of Special Marriage Act to be deposited with the cashier of District and the receipt should be attached with the application form.

10.Affirmation that the parties are not related to each other within the prohibited degree of relationship as per Hindu Marriage Act or Special Marriage Act as the case may be.

Registered marriage is a good option. But the registrar may ask you to produce certain documents about your DOB,identity and residence.

1- first of all think again, it is a very difficult way and once you stepped this way there is no way to return back.

2- Let her think again whether she can get along with you forever and for all your lives??

3- Consult a good lawyer.

4- If both of you r sikh then solemnize your marriage with relevant rites and customs.

5- Don't forget to make videography during the solemnization of marriage. It would be the best evidence of consent.

6- Get registered the marriage.

7- Try to convince both of your's parents.
