An Indian boy(age 28,Hindu,educated,raised US)is in love with a caucasian girl(age 27,US,educated,respectable family).All his life,he thought he wanted an arranged marriage,until he met this girl and fell in love.The girl understands the cultural challenges if she marries into the Indian culture, but because of her love for the Indian boy,she has agreed to embrace Hinduism(raising any children Hindu),learn Hindi,embrace his Indian family/extended family and particpate in the Indian culture.Problem:The boy's parents say the girl is not right for him because she is not culturally Indian,they refuse to meet her,insist he have an arranged marriage,will not consent to his marriage.He has turned down numerous matches &refused several arranged marriage proposals.He only wants to marry the caucasian girl,but without his parent's consent,he feels he cannot.Talking with his parents has not worked.He says if he cannot marry her,he will not marry anyone.He is very sad.What should he do?
