Question

Salam Walikum,

I am 24 years old and I am seeing a guy who is Muslim like myself. We have fallen in love and have been together for 4 years and over... We want to marry but his parents are not allowing this at all. Last year I had a mis-carriage... I know we both have done wrong, but is asking Allah Thala for giveness....  Is there any way we can marry with out his parents blessing... We want to do the halal way now...

Please help us, as we really do not know what to do... We spoke to some Imam's some said must marry, and some said listen to your parents.

His parents wants him to marry someone back home, even though he wants me as his wife.... Please help as we are in need of advice, my parents are happy if I am happy. They are upset but his prents are more strict than mine are.

Thank you

Kathafis
