I want to Marry Muslim Guy but he is not a Punjabi!
My Father met the man I want to marry. My ‘fiance’ came with his family and asked for my hand in marriage with respect. My family is Punjabi and his family is Pathan. My Father did not receive them well. The shocking comment my dad made to them was “The boy may be PERFECT but he is not Punjabi! This marriage can never take place”.I don’t want to marry anyone else as he is a good man, pious and we love each other and both make each other stronger in the Deen. Islam is the way of life we want to follow. Please Help. It all started when my father overheard me speaking to a guy on my mobile. He questioned me and I finally admitted it was him. My brother already knew and has met my fiancé. He agree with my choice and says he’s a nice guy. I am 22 years old and have finished my degree. We met at university. He is 27 years old. His parents were really hurt by my father’s cold response when they came for my rishta. My brother admitted that the guy was a good guy and a respectable Muslim. Now I am not trusted and can’t leave the house. This guy and I are still in contact and we still want to marry, though my father thinks I’ll just forget about him. My brother has said to give him at least 2 years and try persuading my father, though 2 years is a very long time and me and this guy are happy to wait for another for a year but even this we highly doubt would change anything as my father is the most Pakistani man on earth. I really do not know what to do. My father is happy for me to marry of my own choice apparently so long as he is Punjabi. I on the other hand, do not want anyone else ...me and this guy respect one another, are compatible, he changes me, he brings me more to Deen. I have forwarded the page on your website about 'marrying of your own choice and emotional blackmail from parents due to cultural differences'. My father trusts me and says I am the backbone of the family after my mother died. One of my sisters ‘honoured’ my dad and married from Pakistan. She is now living with a man who swears, shouts, abuses her and my family, doesn’t work and takes all her money. She has her own problems to worry about. Please help me on this issue; I keep thinking to have sabar. Have sabar and my brother will help? but will he really? Or is this some long time plan to distance myself and the person who I want to marry. I don’t even have anyone whom I can turn to or can help me

A court in the Indian capital, Delhi, has ordered an army doctor to pay monthly maintenance to an Afghan woman who has accused him of bigamy.
