In India, the age at which a woman can be married legally is 18 years, while in the case of a man, he must be 21 years of age, according to the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006. Your girlfriend is thus legally eligible to be married now that she has just become 18 years old. This would mean that it will be necessary to complete all formalities required legally and have both parties give their consent and register their marriage with relevant authorities. And note that the minimum age of marriage for women is going to be reviewed and may be raised to 21 soon. So, always update yourself about any such change in the law.
