did the marriage turn out successfully?

There have been many people who married against their parent's wishes and went on to have successful marriages. That's been happening for hundreds of years. Of course, it's ideal to have your parent's approval, but if they absolutely refuse to talk it over and be reasonable, don't let them keep you from your true love.
Good luck!

Have the family members who are against stated specific reasons why they feel that way? If so, are the reasons they state legitimate concerns? If the reasons are not that big of a problem then go ahead and get married, just realize that the two of you will have the same complexities to work through like any couple does. If you're going to show the family that you two should be together, it's going to be a process that could take a few years.

Nah, Figured my mom was right when she said:
1. The most important decision you will make is who you marry
2. Never have children you cannot yourself support
3. Get an education and a position that pays well. Marriage is not a lifetime meal ticket. Likely you will work sometime during your life, maybe even decades. Get paid for it!
4. Have a stash of hidden cash even if you know you will never need it....... you will
Did everything right, and got to retire at 48. Thanks, mom... I love you.

Yes, I got married against my parents wishes. They thought he was selfish and abusive and they were absolutely right. I was married to him for 13 years and took a lot of physical and mental abuse before getting out. I also hid the abuse from my parent because I knew how much it would hurt them to know I was abused like I was.

I'm not married yet, however if I love the person enough I would go against my mother's wishes and marry him. See it all depends on what her concerns are, if they make sense then I'd think twice about it but if it's a control issue then I'd just go for it.

Nope it did not.
My parents did not approve of my current fiancee. They just could not trust her. I am madly in love with her.One day I dind out that in the past she had affries with 4 men in their 40s all married or perviosuly married.
What do i do: After one week long dilemma, shame, anger,anuish, guilt, fear ..I have disided to cut my losses and leave her ... Do I still have feelings for her: Just love & nothing else. Not Trust or Respect

It is a matter of chance. If ur arranged marriage fails, u can curse ur parents and get some satisfaction out of it.

No-but I had a relationship that upset them. I agreed with my parents because overall they were looking out for my best interest and knew I deserved better.

Oh, my father attempts to secretly despise my partner even though it's just passive aggressive bull, but I guess he doesn't disapprove of the wedding since he is paying!
