Re: Eloping
^This.
I know of two cases, the girl ran away with the guy she had been in love with for three years, she was 29, he was 30, and her parents were getting her forcefully wed that weekend. They hid for two years and have two children and are soo happy and crazy in love, and her husband is sooooooo amazing !!! sigh
There are so many romantic details to their amazing story …
The other, guy was in the army, got their nikkah done and took her with him…I don’t know a lot of details, this happened when I was 12, but he was so handsome, and she was sooo pretty…they have like 5 children, and the guys family dont acknowledge their existence.
Both these families are actually kind of modern. In the first case, it was family enmity generations old, and in the second, the guy’s family just refused to let him marry with consent. They kept saying oh you can marry whomever you want all his life, and when he finally picked the girl, the mother and sister decided to go suicidal. They were both like “ohhh nafarmaan bachay, you will suffer for hurting your mother, God will punish you”, and he didnt give in to her blackmail and said Allah will punish me for breaking my promise to a girl as well. I promised to marry her, and I cant go back on my word.So with the girl’s family’s consent, he married her and took her with him where he was posted.
