(Fatwa: 528/L/128/tl=1432)

You should obey your parents regarding the marriage and keep your emotions under control. The betterment of this world and the hereafter lies in obeying parents. Your dreams indicate to the same.

Note: It is haram to marry a Hindu boy, it is not lawful; hence, you should never think of marrying a Hindu boy in any case.
