Re: How to break the news to your parents…
Idher bhi yehi hal hai I’m on the same boat. 
bulbuli:
Even though in my family dating is a big no no but mum has eased up on the idea that if I find the right man myself then it’s not the end of the world.
Depending on the actual situation, may be going through a mutual family friend may work out. Also, I think depending on how much you interact with your local imam, I would go through him and explain the situation to him. May be he could approach the parents and suggest that guy. This way you haven’t done much harm and seems like a proper channel.
