Me and boyfriend were together for 3 years and decided to tell our parents about getting married. Although were both muslims, were different casts but thought naively, that this wouldnt matter. My parents were unsure but for my happiness agreed, but his parents said 'no-way' was he marrying me as am different cast to them. He is Tai and I am a Khalifa. In their eyes, I come from a "low background" and hated the idea so much they threathned to disown him. My parents were also stressed and upset and we didnt know what to do. In the end, we both agreed that we could not go against his parents wishes and put my parents through agony if we went ahead on our own. So we've split up and i havent seen or spoken to him since. Its only been 11 days, but feels like months and ive never been so miserable in my life. Did i do the right thing in leaving my chance of happiness with the one guy i love so much? Or keeping my parents happy and marry someone else who i know i'll never truly be hapy with?
