I saw my girlfriend in a dream following Istikhara

My mother refuses to bless us for marriage. After Istikhara, I had a dream in which my girlfriend was wearing a red shirt.

Marrying a divorcee

I’ve known of a guy most my life through family relation.. So our families had limited contact in years, and he married when we was young through family arrangments. After a year and half of his relation, his wife gave divorce notice through a islamic body and papers were sent to him, he did not respond so they asssumed the marriage was ended. So firstly I want to know if it is a proper divorce, as he says he has no kinds of feelings but he does not have a divorce certificate as such.

How can I convince my parents to accept the man I want to marry?

Assalamu alaikum,

I am a 19 year old girl who is intending to marry a man who is 15 years older than me and has been a divorced and has got two kids, I have known him for nearly 5 years now and have fallen madly in love with since I think he is very mature and has guided me in a lot of bad things I got into in my teenage life. He too is a Muslim and an Indian same as me but my parents strongly disagree of him as he has got some past bad experiences with my Dad and also due to the fact that he is so much older and has got 2 kids.
