Marriage is an important thing in life. Marriage is a trusted institution and everyone has the right to choose their soul mate regardless of social class, religion or skin color.
Step
Step 1. Find a good time to talk to your parents
Avoid situations where they are tense or upset.
Step 2. Try to explain to your parents why you love your partner
Make a list of why you love him and what made you fall in love with him, even if this sounds like a business proposal.
Step 3. Look for marriages in your family that are different in social class or that are unusual, but lasting
Use that as an example to prove your point.
Step 4. Get support
Find someone (such as your married cousin) to support you when talking about your marriage.
Step 5. Have them meet your boyfriend and rate him without any pressure
Better ask them not to be biased.
Step 6. Try to keep your parents away from relatives or people who oppose inter-social marriage
Step 7. Tell them that marriage is all about a little compromise and sacrifice, and you both have no problem with that
No marriage is without compromise.
Step 8. Never pressure them by saying that you are going to run away with your boyfriend
This will actually create hatred towards your relationship.
Step 9. Try to get at least one of your parents on your side
However, don't try to get them to bicker about this topic as they'll think it's because of you and your boyfriend.
Step 10. Don't beg
Try to do this with dignity. Also, don't get into fights or yell at them about this. You will appear childish and they will think your love is not worthy of approval.
Step 11. If all else fails, tell them firmly and politely that he or she is someone you chose for yourself and they should try to accept that in the end your own life is at stake
If they don't respect your decision, don't let them make you unhappy!
Tips
- It helps if your parents already know your boyfriend and have a good impression of him. Otherwise, try to meet them in person at least once in a casual setting before you say you want to get married.
- You both make sure that you introduce each other to your family as kind and considerate people. Don't introduce yourself as a life partner. Let your family know the other side. Make sure to make a good impression by always being attentive. Show all your friendly and trustworthy cousins that you both love each other and need their support when needed. A few months later, both the family will get to know you both and when you tell them that he or she is the perfect match for you, they will be less worried because they already know you both and will feel the same way you do about your married life..
