How can I make my father understand? and why do I have no say in my future?

I am a 30 year old Pakistani girl and have been with someone for two years we have met several times face to face and over the 2 years are feeling for each other are getting stronger. He lives in another country and I live in the UK. The problem is that I mentioned to my family a year ago that I wanted to get married to this man (he’s an Arab) but they can not come over the cultural differences and how the community would perceive them. I have asked my father many occasions to speak to him and he’s refused, he wants nothing to do with it.
