@nikita871,
Why can't you marry him?

Are you over 18? Are you considered an adult in your country? Then you can probably marry who you want to. It's not necessarily easy to do that without family support, but that may be what you need to do if you want to stay with your current boyfriend and marry him.

Are you in a country where your life could be in danger due to honor killings if you marry outside your caste?

I saw this documentary recently, and it is quite real and frightening.

@nikita871,
I hate to advise you against a happy, fulfilling life, but if you plan to continue to live where you are, you must follow your parents' direction, or you risk being murdered.

The headstrong choice to risk your life for a teenaged boyfriend is not a choice you have the maturity to make at your tender age.

I would hate for your life to be ended in this way.

I personally wish you would very carefully try to escape to a place where you can truly live a fulfilling life and make choices based on what's right for you, but the odds of a young woman making that transition without being victimized, I think, are too small.

@nikita871,
I'm sorry to read this.

Well, your choices are probably to either leave with your love or stay and deal with whoever is chosen within your caste.

BTW, if you're in India, inter caste marriages ARE legal. Special Marriage Act, 1954

http://blog.ipleaders.in/10-things-every-indian-should-know-about-the-special-marriage-act1954/

But I realize it could be dangerous for you to stay, as there are still instances of honor killings in India.

You need to do what is best for you. Please stay safe.
