Re: His mom
^ Yup I have heard of such bragging as well.
I know a couple that was in this situation. The guy ended up defying his mother and got married to the girl of her choice. The mother refused to attend the wedding and cut off contact with her son. Its been years and the mother still hasn't talked to them... visiting to door ki baat hai. She has not even come seen her grandchildren that have since been born. Pure stubborness!!! So it's a bad situation either way..... either the girl will have to deal with her MIL's crap her entire life... or the MIL will be like this one and peace them out. It is a very sad and hurtful situation. Especially when children are born.
The couple I know are madly in love and extremely compatible. They are Alhumudullilah doing great in every other aspect of life. But they definitely had to sacrifice some things.
So I guess if you want to sacrifice... something... then go for it. You can definitely not have "your cake and eat it too" in this situation in my opinion. It might be for the best to walk away from it if you can.
