Now, I too understand that maarrying with this girl I am making disappoint my parents. Please advice my rights and duties towards my parents and the girl. Please advice me in this matter. I would appreciate your early guidence.
If the age-factor is their only gripe, you may get married to her.
We suggest you approach your parents with kindness and explain what you wish to do. Perhaps, your parents have some other reason for preventing you from marrying her.
