My boyfriend is 19 and an overall good person who is working as well as being a good student. He loves me a lot and even wants to marry me but before that he wants both of us to become something in life and stand on our feet. He is a rich but down-to-earth guy. My friends, cousins and my sister know about him and they are comfortable with him as my boyfriend. He is Muslim and I am Hindu. I’m just 17 and my parents want me to get married soon and they have started searching for guys. I don’t like any of them as they are too old for me and they don’t respect my hobbies and my interests, whereas my boyfriend encourages me in my studies as well as extra-curricular activities. I want to marry him only but not now as we both want to make our careers first. But my parents want me and my sister to get married as soon as possible. I can’t tell my parents about our relationship as they are very strict. I’m not able to concentrate on my studies due this torture. What should I do?
You do not have the courage to tell your parents about your relationship with your Muslim boyfriend because “they are very strict”. Ask your boyfriend if he has informed his parents about his relationship with you. If he has not done so it is because he too knows that his parents are very strict and may never accept it. It is time for both of you to stop dreaming and come down to the reality of the Indian culture and religious feelings in this country, before getting into serious trouble.
