I am from Ujjain. My boyfriend and I want to live together as husband and wife. But my parents are not
allowing this because of a difference in our financial backgrounds.

For four years, I have been fighting at home to prove that my love is true and beautiful. When my dad
got a heart attack, he yelled at me and blamed me for it. The doctor has said that my mom’s nervous
system has become weak and she can get a heart attack.
There is so much pressure on me that I feel like I am killing my parents. I don’t get what’s so wrong in
loving a person and wanting to spend your life with him. My parents are forcing me to get engaged to
another guy. I don’t want to hurt my parents but I can’t leave my lover with whom I share a beautiful
bond. Everyone only bothers about what society thinks. They don’t understand that three lives are
destroyed when marriage is forced.

My wife and I met in college in 2005 and lived together under the same roof for eight years. We had
such a passionate relationship. But in 2013, her parents came home and by giving a false assurance of
arranging our wedding, they took her away. They kept making excuses to delay our wedding and then
told me firmly that since I belong to a ‘low’ caste, I can’t marry their daughter.
For the past one year, I’m fighting for the love of my life in a court. Her dad’s lawyer used some tactics to
keep me away from her. Since a year, I have not got a single chance to meet my girl. I am attaching the
complaint that I have filed in the court. I don’t know whether any boy would have fought for his love the
way I have but I am still doing it. I can show you bundles of documents to prove my live-in relationship.

I’m from France. I fell in love with a girl from another religion. Our relationship was so strong but her
parents opposed it fiercely. For seven months, we had to keep running and hiding from her family with
the help of cops.
We had a very successful marriage but my wife was completely torn and upset about hurting her
mother. I finally let her go so that she could be with her mother. After all, Heaven is at mom’s feet.
That’s how our story ended. She left and I never saw her again.
Maybe she has married her cousin as she was first supposed to do. Maybe she has children. Maybe she
thinks about me sometimes. Maybe she still loves me. Maybe. This is a story of how intolerance to love
can destroy a perfect love. My crime was that I didn’t belong to the same religion as her. Now I am
condemned to live without her. I still love her and miss her.

I have been living in Australia for over five years now. My family lives in India. I had a court marriage
last year but I am not living with my husband because my mother-in-law does not accept our marriage. I
hope she watched this show and changes her mind. She wants us to divorce as soon as possible. I am
hurting so much.
She told my husband that she would not accept him as her son if he continues in this marriage. I tried to
make her understand a few times but she just does not accept me because I am from a lower caste than
