Q: I really need help. My parents don’t want me to marry the boy I love because he’s not from the same region as me and because he’s just a year older than me. They want someone really older than me so that he can take care of me. The situation right now is that my mother said that if I marry him, I should consider myself cursed and she said that the marriage won’t be successful. She even cursed our kids. Please help.
A: Why should you disobey your parents. Listen to them and earn their blessings and cut off all ties with this person.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
