I have done dental studies and am prepraring for higher studies in Bihar. I told my parents about the
guy I want to get married to. The anger-filled reaction that I got was beyond my imagination. After all,
he has loved me more than anyone and fulfilled all my wishes.
My father said that I can’t marry the guy because he is from another caste and society won’t allow it. But
I can’t imagine a future without my boyfriend. I don’t want to leave my parents either. Please give me a
solution on how I can convince my parents.

I am from Punjab. I need your help regarding a family issue. My cousin wants to do love marriage but
her family is not allowing her. They are against her because the boy is of backward caste and we are
belonging to the general caste. We cousins are against all these things but our parents do not agree with
us. Please give us some suggestions or help us to convice our family for this marriage.

I also love someone. But I am Sikh and he is Hindu. For this reason, my parents are not agreeing to my
marriage and so, we have to separate. My parents find the six-year age gap between me and my
boyfriend to be too much. They also say that all the respect that they have in society will get ruined if
they accept our marriage. My father adds that no relative will talk to him so he will have to sell
everything and move to our village.
My boyfriend is very simple and is having second thoughts even though he loves me a lot. My father is
saying that he will break relations with me if I go against him. Please tell me – Why can’t I decide about
my life? Why can’t they leave me alone? Why do I have to marry a guy of their choice?

I am a doctor by profession, Hindu by religion, Jat by caste and Indian by nationality. I belong to a very
influential family so I don’t expect anyone to help me out. I love a man who belongs to another caste - a
lower one according to my family. My parents have threatened to kill me, my siblings and themselves if I
don’t marry according to their wish. I am helpess and in misery right now. I will fight against it till my
last breath. I just want to request you to share my story with the world. It’s high time someone stops this
nuisance.

I’m from Jalandhar, Punjab. My mumma and my papa beat me whenever I try to talk to my parents
about the guy whom I love. They even abuse him and his family in a bad and cheap way. Even though
I’ve had a heart surgery and will have pregnancy problems, this guy loves me truly and wants to marry
me. But my parents just don’t understand. His mother has cancer and there is not much time left; we
feel so helpless.

though we belong to the same caste. My parents are supportive. Please help us as early as possible.
