GFs parents made a huge mess
I (30M, Baniya) have been in a relationship with my girlfriend (30F, Jain) for three years, and I have known her for around 5–6 years. We decided to move forward with marriage and started discussions with our respective families.
Before proceeding further, my parents asked whether her parents agreed to the marriage, considering it is a love marriage. Her parents said yes, so we moved ahead with meetings, and eventually, both families met around mid-November.
However, after visiting my house, her parents went back home and started giving baseless reasons, saying they didn’t agree to the marriage. Then, one day, out of nowhere, her mother said she was against love marriages, and her father claimed he didn’t know it was a love marriage. It has been more than two months, and her parents have yet to give a clear answer or reason for their refusal.
Given my age, my parents are now concerned about my marriage. They mentioned that it’s high time and have started looking for matches for me. Meanwhile, her parents continue to delay without giving any proper response or explanation. I also want to get married now, as I feel it is the right time.
My girlfriend is asking me to wait indefinitely until her parents agree, which I believe is unlikely. I have even tried talking to her parents, but they have not responded. My parents and I are against eloping for marriage.
