I want to break off my engagement
I am 18 year old. During my graduation I got engaged to my cousin, who is not well qualified and that was a person whom I hated from my childhood. But I accepted this decision for my father because I could not refuse him. I thought with the passage of time, I will start loving him. I tried to love him and forced myself to love him but it did not happen. But as more and more time passed I got depressed. My depression increased to an extent that I do not want to talk to anyone and start walking and thinking throughout a day. I could not sleep at night if his thought comes in my mind. He is not a bad person in fact but I don't know why I started hating him. I wanna be a doctor and these thoughts prevent me from studying.

What is it that is bothering you about him? Do you think he will be a hurdle in your way to becoming a doctor? If that is the reason, you can always discuss your reservations/ doubts and figure out a way.
Salam .Engagement haram.Understand that success in both of the world's is only in Deen. OBEYING THE COMMANDMENTS OF ALLAH AND teachings of OUR PROPHET MUHAMMAD IS THE only success to a happy life with Barakah. FACT!!!
Engagement is only a word. What is haram about two people making an agreement to be married at a future date?
