My parents want me, to get married in Bangladesh, I live in L.A and I don’t want this to happen. What should I do?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

I know that, if I make my parents happy then Allah is happy. But if I get married to a girl from Bangladesh that cant speak english, then I feel as if we will not be compatible.

Answer

According to Shari’ah, an adult (boy and girl) reserve the right to marry a
partner of his/her choice. However, due to marriage being a major step in
one’s life, it is advisable to make Mashwara (consult) with your seniors as
well as make Istikhaara (seek divine guidance). Somewhere on this site,
search ‘Istikhaara’ (without quotes).

You should also consider the advise of your parents as it is motivated by
their love and concern for you.

And Allah Taãla Knows Best.
