I live in Kerala. I love a girl since the last four years. My parents told me that they are ready to accept
our love only if we get a ‘yes’ from my girlfriend’s parents also. Her family told me that they like me as
an individual but they can’t let their daughter marry me because of religious differences.
I am a Christian and they are Hindu by religion but after all, aren’t we both human beings? Please help
us live together.

I am in love with a guy who is a lower caste (Sharma) than I am (Patel). My mum and brother are okay
with it but my dad is not agreeing because of the caste. We have tried very hard to convince him. For
him, his reputation in the community is much more important than my happiness!
My mum is asking me to run away but I don’t think I should take any wrong step given how much my
parents have done to raise me. If I run away today, then I am not going to set a very good example for
other girls in my community. We are from a village in Gujarat near Surat.

I am a 25-year-old high-class Brahmin girl. I am working in an MNC in Hyderabad for the past two
years. For the past seven years, I am in love with a guy who belongs to another caste. My family is
completely against the relationship. They don’t even talk to an uncle who married a girl from another
caste 17 years ago.
My father tells me that he will die within six months and that my mother will die within one year if I go
against their wishes. What kind of logic is this? They are not even interested in talking to this guy. They
don’t realise that if I marry someone else, I’ll have to die every day.
Based on horoscopes, my family is able to judge how the boy’s nature is? Is astrology so perfect? Are
Brahmins so great on this earth? In which century are we living? They say that if I marry him, their ill
curse will keep me from being happy. What is this?

I am an engineering graduate from a very premier institute of this country. I am working for the past
three years in an MNC and also preparing for administrative services in Delhi. I embraced my
girlfriend’s religion before marrying her to make her family happy but they still don’t accept us. In fact,
they are not letting her live with me and we too want to live together only once we have their blessings.
Since the past three months, I’ve not been allowed to even talk to my wife. I’ve not slept much in the
past three months. I feel so helpless. I’ve tried to explain to her parents that we will give them so much
happiness that they will soon see that we are the best children in the world. We are in a lot of pain.
Please help us.

I want to become an IAS officer. I live in Mumbai with my very loving but very conservative parents. I
love a Tamil boy who lives in Chennai. I was going to go to Chennai for further studies but since my
parents came to know about our relationship, they have stopped me from moving. My father says that
he will die if I marry this guy. Sir, please help. I want to keep my maa-papa, amma-appa (guy’s parents)
and my boyfriend happy.
