If It Were You, What Will You Do? by porasog(f): 1:31am On Jan 08, 2011
I was told this story just recently and sincerely speaking it is puzzling. I couldn't come up with an answer to the questions it raised. Then along came this brilliant thought, "why not share it"? At least you could get some responses which could help you resolve the issues raised. Guess what? That is exactly what I intend doing right away.
Here goes my mind-boggling story:


A certain young man - an only son, and from a wealthy family- was deeply in love with a young lady from a poor family and of a different tribe. So much was he in love with her that he decided to marry her without any further delay. Unfortunately for the Lovers, the man's family ( his parents in particular) were not in support of the union. Their reasons - her tribe and her family background.

He did every thing he could to convince his parents of his undying love for this particular girl, but they refused and stood their ground on not blessing the union. As a matter of fact, they knew their son,

Trust me I really don't have an answer to it, thats why am throwing it open for you to help this guy make a decision, and a quick one.

LMFAO@ ORTON!!  grin

@OP: This post is ridiculous (clearly copied and pasted thus our advice will never be realized) but I will answer. Basically here in the west we believe in "pro choice" as in it is up to the the individual and as an adult it is their decision to make. You used the word "tribe" so obviously we are talking "prejudice"/tradition which makes the situation more complex. I still say it is  their decision to make however there needs to be some sort of compromise for the parents so that they do not feel deceived/betrayed. I don't know what else to say as I don't want to offend or appear naive.

Thot so too when I came across it. You certainly will not be offending anyone.  Unfortunately such prejudices find common place in our society, particularly in marriages.

@Topic.

Well I believe the guy in question is old enough to handle his affairs maturely, so I feel that his parents should reason with him and respect his choice.

Yeah well said. But where they refuse to see reasons with him, is it right for him to "let the snake go so that his parents die!" i.e. cut off his parents (and his family) and go ahead with his plans to marry the girl?

Trust me I don't think doing that is the right option. I know of real situations (close friends) where "letting the snake go" option was adopted and as at the time of replying this post, their marriages have crashed. I think having your parents blessings in your marriage is a very important ingredient in having a successful marriage.   The question is how do one tackle one's family refusal?
