Fatwa #2806016 January 2014United Kingdom
I want to get married but my parents think I am irresponsible.
Question
I am an 18 year old girl. I have been in a relationship with a boy for more than a year. We have the intention of getting married as soon as possible but I am aware that this is still wrong. My parents have found out about him but they want me to wait as they don't think I am responsible enough to get married yet.
His family all know about this and they all approve. I need some help and advice please. My dad is being very stubborn. We want to get married but want everyone to approve of it.
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
