Stuck Between Family Pressure and My True Identity: What Should I Do?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: ‘I am in a very difficult situation, my family is now persuading me to get married. However, the problem lies in the fact that I’m only attracted to men. I have no feelings for women whatsoever… I consider myself practising. I wouldn’t want to get married and wreck somebody else’s life… What do I do?! I’m somebody who’d rather stay single and control my desires but it’s a really sticky situation. 

Bismillaah

A: For such people who have inhumane feelings they should live away from human society and live totally separate.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
