We spend time together publicly for a few months and he would come to my family gatherings Ect with time we fell in love and decided to get married . The problem is his parents refuse to approve the marriage and he doesn’t want to go disappointed them as they are elderly his father is 62 and his mother is 56 . They are in the last stages of their lives and he doesn’t want to disappoint them in case something bad happens tomorrow. He’s parents said they won’t accept a wife from South Africa . They never even gave him a chance to explain my character. He told them he loves me and wants to marry me and he’s parents said no straight now. This has been an argument in his family for two months . A month ago his parents told him that they chose a wife for him in Pakistan . He’s refusing to accept the marriage and is still trying to change their minds . I’m a 25 year old female and he is a 31 year old male . He is their only son and supports the family financially. His parents , 4 sisters . 3 are married and the 4th one is in progress of finding a match . Please pls advise what I should do ?
