Married at 11 to a 21 year old, who left me when I was 18
Salam. It is really hard for me to explain what has happened in my life since the age of 11, as I have never explained to anyone what I have been through before, but for you brothers and sisters giving me Islamic advice you need to understand the complexities of what i have experienced in my life from a young age. At the age of 11 when I was finishing primary school, my father brought a man into the house who was a Christian at the age of 21. My dad loves me more than anything in life, however during this introduction this man proclaimed that he had fallen in love with me and wanted to marry me regardless of my age, race and culture, as I am half Pakistani.
I want to marry my boyfriend, but my father refuses
Me and my long time boyfriend are trying really hard to get married, but my parents are in the way. Is it haram if I marry him without the approval of my father?
