I happen to fall in love with a girl that my mother doesn't want me to marry due to tribal differences. I've tried convincing my mum that she's a good girl and that all will be fine, but mum still stands her ground, citing many personal issues like our kids likely not being able to speak our language and not identifying with our culture in the future(she even cries as if I'm about to commit suicide).

I feel touched at times, but still believe mum is old school. So last week, my girlfriend and I were considering eloping to another city to start a new life.

Please, am I making a mistake and will there be any consequences if I decide to go along with this idea.

There's no need to elope you'll only cause her more grief. If you truly love this girl you both don't need to elope , if you are persistent enough in time your mum will have no other choice than to accept her.

But em , what are your siblings and dads view ?
