Question


My question is with regards to marriage...I am 20 years old and alhamdulillah I am quran Hafiz...at the moment I am doing a degree in university and i just have one more year left and I feel that I would like to get married next year at the end of my degree. I have found a suitable match alhamdullilah she reads 5 times namaz a day and the family mashallah is also very pious. I do not want to tell my mum yet that I have found someone suitable to marry as when i tell her that I would like to get married next year and she replies that I am still young and I should focus on education and my career. I have explained to my mother that I am mature and our prophet advised us to get married young, however she does not understand as she is more culture orientated. My question to you is how could i persuade my mother that I am ready for marriage and also that I have found a suitable girl? Also i feel that my parents will not accept this girl because they want me to get married from pakistan and i feel that this would not be good as I have already found someone here that I feel will be suitable for me as she prays her namaz and is pious....so what will be the best course of action to take with regards to this issue? Are there any duas that I can read for my parents to accept this girl and see the good in her, rather than simply say that it is in our tradition to get married from pakistan?

Inshallah I will be looking forward to your reply

Jazakallah
