My parents want me to marry a non-religious boy but I want to marry a boy who prays 5 times a day.
My parents want me to marry a guy "jo acha nai ha" -- in other words, he is not a good person. He is not Islami (i.e. he is not a practicing muslim), and his father works in the police force. We all know that people who are in the police force take "rishwat".
I want to marry a guy who prays 5 times a day.
I don't know what to do. Please help me.

Salaams,
You are not obligated to accept a proposal from any person who you don't think is suitable for you, regardless of what your parents think. You can refuse the proposal, over and over if need be. Moving forward, talk to your parents about the type of husband you are looking for and why. Tell them that you know you don't deserve less than to be married to someone who is trying, as you are, to be a pious Muslim. Hopefully they will keep this in mind the next time they help with selecting a potential suitor.

tell your parents that the one who abandons the prayer totally is a disbeliever as the prophet[saww] said
why would any sane muslim marry his daughter to a disbeliever?
It is ur right to choose the kind of spouse u want. Politely explain ur reason to ur parents.
Im getting married soon, im having an issue with marriage too. I cant ask family or friends for advice, and so I would like to get some advice from people here who has sound knowledge of islam or someone that may be in the same boat as me or have some experience so that they will understand me and be able to advice me. I did write a post here, but no response yet. I need advice ASAP. If its ok with u then email me.
And though prayers is very very important, and is what distinguishes us to the disbelievers, however, a person who doesnt pray can still be classed as a believer. However, u should select someone that is as pious as u are. U deserve a good spouse and ur future children deserve a good father who will be good for their this life amd hereafter.
ck, I deleted your email address from your comment. Please don't post email addresses here. Wait until your post is published Insha'Allah, or you can consult some knowledgeable person in your community or your family.
