I don't know what the legal age is in your country but once you reach it, then do as you wish. You call him a boyfriend so you must have been allowed to see him under some circumstances.
I am wondering dear, why your boyfriend knowing how protective and controlling your parents are, went ahead and bought a ring already. Did he think that providing a ring would change your parents mind and allow you all freedom with him because you and he are engaged to be married. I don't know at what age a person in your country can marry without parents consent. But that is important too. Check into it, you may be old enough now. If not, wait then as hard as it may be. When you are old enough, then next of importance will be whether the two of you can support yourselves and not need to be living with parents. If married and living with his or your parents, they still get to call the shots as to what happens under their roof. So you may better use this time you have to wait to make plans for employment, save up enough money to afford your own place and start out with just basic needs for purchases. Thats the best i can offer you. Good luck!

I guess you still have time for engagement and your too young for thinking for marriage and all...you can continue your relationship without expecting of any marriage stuff and explain your guy that you still need time for all this and life brings changes in a person..may be when your turn up around 22...you may get change in terms of perception,choices and all...and every parent is protective..have faith..life will be fine
