Financially Still Not Ready, Should I Marry Him?

13 June, 2023
Q Assalaamu alaikum, I have been in a long-distance relationship since 6 yrs with the first intention of marriage & the boy is practicing Muslim but I was waiting for him to get settled now I’m 25 yrs still he’s not enough responsible and he needs more time. Or else he tells me to marry at the same situation in the state he is now and I’m ready to sacrifice. But my parents don’t like this and they want me to marry another person. Now I’m getting confused & my health is also getting very much affected. What should I do?

It has been six years since you started dealing with this proposal, and he still needs more time to get prepared.

It is a long-distance connection, and your parents would not agree to marry like this.

They may be right, as at this moment he is not ready to take care of you.  

If too much time passes without progress, it might be better to move on.
