How to convince my parents to agree to my marriage with the girl I like?

Fiqh of Love marriage in Islam by YASIR BIRJIS

Aslaamalaykoom my dear brothers and sisters,

I have known this girl for a while now both of us are sunni muslims we both like each other and are wanting to get married. This girl has made me more religious and changed into a better person and it is impossible for me to see my self with someone else in the future.

I was just wondering could anyone give me advice on the perfect way to explain all this to my parents I really do not want to go against them and at the same time I know this girl is perfect for me so to resolve all my problems I need my parents to agree.

Jazakallah

  1. Walikum assalaam,

    You have not provided any reasons as to why you think your parents are going to be against this marriage??
    Without this how can we advice you how to go about in dealing with your parents?
    It is important to know if they have 'valid' reasons for refusal or not.

    Whatever be the reason, one thing I will remind you is to always be respectful to your parents, whether they are right or wrong. And even if they are wrong in something and their reasoning may v well not be islamic, you are still obliged to be respectful towards them and you try to win them over...this may require a lot of struggle and sacrifice and time, but if thats what it takes to please those who come straight after Allah and His rasool, then so be it...

    When parents see that their children respect them and genuinely want to keep them happy and not go against them, then they will melt eventually. But this may take time.

    Was salaam

  2. salam, i got married like this too, his parents were against it. He came to my dad and asked for permission. My dad is quite religious and he said try again if not then get two witnesses and we will get you married. It was hard for my dad. We got nikkahed without his parents then when we got ruksat, they came. A few weeks after marriage, they loved me. I say try to talk to your parents and say you are marrying a muslim girl, she is from a good family, ask if they will meet her, and how her parents feel(if they konw) and of course , is there something you are not telling us, why are they against it? My husband the case was parents wanted him to marry their good family friends daughter, but she was not his type and he liked me, so that was our issue. But in the end it all worked out. So, yah whats the issue with you?

  4. I am a christian I loves a muslim girl how can I convince her parents

    • Aby,

      A Muslim lady is not allowed to marry a non Muslim man. So her parents would not agree.

  6. What applies If Wife for No Reason Avoids and deprive her Husband on daily basis It is like a torture. Nothing is LEFT that can be tried . The freQuency of sex for Last 8yrs is hardly 30 Times Annually. She thinks it's Lust. She comes close only when she finishes menses. The remaining monrh Not a word or Even if it Happens It's Visibly Very Unwillingly and No affection at all. I am Tired and Broke and Becoming Psycho ..
