I need guidance on a serious matter regarding my engagement and family situation. My fiancée is from a less-affluent neighbourhood, and my parents don’t approve of us getting married because of it. When I tried to convince them, my mother became very upset and said she would give me bad-duas [curses], praying that I would never find happiness or peace. This deeply hurt me and left me in tears.

I cannot leave my fiancée because she has invested so much emotionally in this relationship and would be vulnerable without me. Leaving her would shatter her and scar her for life. I know this would forever break my heart and haunt me for the rest of my life. However, my family is also very important to me.

I love her deeply and she gives me far more than I could ever ask for. I don’t see how I can abandon her after........
