I Want to Marry Him; But for Mom, Status Matters

04 October, 2022
Q Assalmualikm. I am highly graduate a scholar. Jobless. My parents have been separated. The issue is that I want to marry a boy who is in our relatives, close relative not now but after a year and two because he is younger than me. We have an 8 years age gap. He is 21 plus he is studying, but not too much interested in studies and has an environment that is different from us but I feel happy with him. Now my mother raised objections to their status education because my education is too much... For them, the status matters: a separate home, a job. I also want but I think it happened with time. I’m very sad and confused. I don’t know what to do. I want my mother and him as well because I will not marry anyone without him. Now tell me what to do to make this situation better. Both love each other as that boy hates my mother now. Please what to do.

When your future husband is younger and less educated, the main question is his willingness and ability to provide for you and to take care of his future family.

We are supposed to marry for the sake of Allah and not for money or status.

However, you have to make sure that he is determined to support you and your children. 

What to do if your parents prioritize status and education and not agree with your choice?
