Hi all,
My folks are thinking of finding rishtas for me. It’s a topic that’s been cropping up a lot in conversation lately. What’s the best way of breaking it to the parents that I’ve already found my partner? Would it be best to tell them straight away? Some of my friends have suggesred turning down a number of rishtas so they kind of get a hint and ask me themselves - and then I could tell them.
Would they be more receptive that way? It doesn’t seem fair to potential rishtas to deal insincerely with them.

P.S The situation is futher complicated by the fact that the man I love is from a different religion. I want to do this just right so there’s as little stress as possible for everyone concerned.
I’m more worried about how dad might react than I am about mom…
Do you know anyone who’s done this? How did they convince their parents?

Appreciate any inputs…

MashaAllah you are on a right track. I think breaking this news a few hours before your Nikah will be a great boost for your parents.
