InElegance, the guy SHOULD be Muslim in order for you to marry him. So Islamically, there is nothing wrong in marrying him. There is contradiction in fiqh and hadith. Some of them says the girl’s parents should APPROVE of the guy and some of them says the marriage is still valid even if they don’t approve the girl’s choice.

Its always better to take your family in confidence. Don’t care about others. Islamically you are not doing anything wrong.** Try to talk to your family and if they approve, its best for you. They might disapprove in the beginning and you might have to wait and keep on working to convince them until you finally have their blessings for the marriage.** But its worth waiting if you want to have inner satisfaction with your decision.

Bit in black -Just wanted to clarify that parents are NOT allowed to disapprove on the grounds of race - according to any madhab..

3 madhabs say you MUST have the consent of your guardian and 1 says it’s recommended but without it your marriage will still be valid. In the case of your guardian not agreeing because of race he can be replaced by someone else (there’s a specific order) but obviously that should only ever be a last resort..

But in blue - totally agree :k:
