We fell in love with each other by exchanging our feelings through the phone." and after 3 years I asked her pic, and I did not find her pretty. After that I broke up with her by giviing dumb reasons but felt miserable without her love and went back to her. Her looks are average but her qualities and her love towards me are exceptional. I am confused. She doesn't want to meet me until there is a legal bond between us cuz we are Muslims. There are certain customes we should follow.I think it isn't fair to reject a girl because she doesn't have a models look. I am confused, I love her very much. Please guys clear up the mess in my mind.

The best way to gain respect with your parents is by being honest with them.
Tell your mum / dad / uncle (a family member who you feel understands you the most) and explain you have met a girl from a similar background and who you know is a good girl and who you would like to marry as you both have things in common.
Tell the family you wont be interested in marrying anyone else.
Tell them that age does not matter to you (you can use the example of prophet who married his wife kadijah who was 20 years older than him -and they were very happy).
I am sure once you have an answer for all their questions your parents will be ok, ultimately they have your best interests at heart.
Goodluck!

Its nots fair to reject a girl just because she is not your ideal of a beauty.
I am sure god will think her as being very beautiful because she has a good heart.
You need to remember looks will fade with age, but the real beauty is in the heart of someone.
If she makes you happy then you should 100% stick with her and not act cowardly just because you think she is not stunning.
Of course attraction matters so in this case you could advise her once you are married to wear certain clothes, makeup, to enhance her beauty for you because she may just prefer the simple look for now.
In any case you have declared you love her so you have answered your own question: stick with her!
Hope this helps
Goodluck!

as for this womans looks, does it really matter? you dont fall in love with people for their looks, you have already proved this! it is this womans love for you, her angelic presence and your future together that you should love... looks are just an added bonus and in time you will actually see that this woman looks beautiful too.
i wish you all the best
