Re: What should I do? 
Depends if you live in Pakistan or you’re really fresh off the boat, my family is pretty FOB but I like to think my happiness does matter to them.
It’s not an assumption, if they guilt me into marrying someone I don’t want to, buck em. I said I’m open to arranged marriage, but I’m not going to marry someone I don’t want to. My family is pretty affluent/well educated, doctor + professor, I guess your point might stand true if OP’s rishta’s family is blue collar/less educated.
I’m only 23, I’m not planning on getting married until I’m at least 30, and I’m not really sure if I want to get married/have kids. The point is why should my parents have to accept her if I chose to go the non arranged route? I wouldn’t hesitate to send them packing if they don’t accept me for the choices I make, a little side note, I wasn’t raised by my parents, so even though I love them, I can live without them. I’m pretty independent. Don’t judge me when you don’t know me.
