Parents forcing marriage choices – A sickening reality
I’m fuming after hearing about my second cousin’s situation. She’s in her mid-20s and has been in a loving, healthy relationship with her boyfriend for four years. But her parents are dead set against it because he’s from a different caste, religion, and doesn’t have a dad.
How does any of that matter? They’re worried about her, sure, but how does his background affect their relationship? They both have jobs, plan to live independently, and are adults capable of making their own decisions.
She’s the one who’ll spend her life with him, raise kids, grow old – not her parents. Why should her parents’ preferences ruin her happiness? It’s not about them anymore; it’s about her life and her future.
If she doesn’t stand up for herself and her boyfriend, it’s a betrayal of their four years together. I hope she fights for her love because giving up now would be a disgrace.
Parents, why do you do this? Don’t you want your child to be happy? This selfish control over their lives is sickening.
