Question:
Hello ma’am,
I am in love. My boyfriend and I want to marry, but my family don’t agree. They want me to marry within my caste and forget my boyfriend. We are madly in love. I don’t want to lose him. I don’t want to lose my family. I am stuck between the two. My family is looking for a partner for me. What should I do now?

Dear Girl,
You are in love and want to marry your boyfriend.
When you can date anybody but marry only within the community
Yeah! Correctly said that the girl has not mentioned her age or qualifications so it is very hard to find out !
Whatever step you take, check integrity with it.
probably, if his parents are fine with it, you should try to convince your parents further, provided you can actually assure them that, keeping the caste factor aside, he can take care of you in all aspects and you both can live a happy life ahead.
These are decisions one must take after cateful thought as love may not be enough to sustain the obvious differences. It may also be that the boy may or may not stand up for her after marriage when differences arise with the other members of his family. If she goes into this as a strong and determined person love would grow and shine..
But if she is weak and needs support love may buckle under pressure. So it’s not just about parents rather more about her mental and physical strength to cope better.
