Re: Marriage n parents
Wow, this is unfortunately a classic situation in many families. :(
You know, according to Islam a girl can't be forced to marry someone she doesn't like, she does have the right to say NO.
And cousin marriages are bound to cause troubles anyway.
Perhaps you and him and someone of his family could all go talk to a decent Imam, ask him for help, he could talk to your parents. Maybe that would help.
Parents are very good in ruining their childrens life for the sake of izzat, even if they know their child is right and they themselves are wrong, still for them often izzat is more important than the truth,maybe because they are from a more cultural generation and our generation is questioning that now, which it should.
Don't let anybody talk you into doing anything wrong. Don't let anybody ruin your life again. Obey your parents, respect them, be good to them, BUT children do have rights to.
Good Luck. I'll say a special prayer for you tonight insha Allah.
