She's 20 but the problem is everyone(my folks and hers) swear they wont let us get married cos my half bother is married to her elder sister. I know she's also crazy about me cos she sworn to run away with me if the time is right and our folks still wont budge. We can only see eachother now in secret and its telling on us both. How do we win this? Reply to this Question Share |

If you are old enough to make the decision and you will accept the consequences then I don't see the problem here. You aren't acutally related to your girlfriend as the sister is your sister-in-law.
Many famalies have circumstances like these and are quiet capable of having great relationships when the families are close. Mature couples won't be bothered by the family connection as they are only related by marriage so their is no incest in the picture.
Make your decision based upon what you feel is right for both of you. Tell them about your decision and ask them for their blessings. If they can't give it and you go thru with marriage then you must be ready to accept their answer.
It's quiet a challenge but it's your life and you have to live it. It's not easy to go against what you are brought up to believe. Disobeying your parents seems to be a concern of yours' and the girlfriends' view. Just let them in and hope they will love and understand seeing things your way. May God bless you all and help you to decide what you have to do. Godspeed.

Which country do you live in, sorry i am rubbish with flags?! It is a law or something. If you love each other then i see no reason why you cannot be together. Let me know where you live.
take care

There really is no way of winning this if you are both in love then just tell your familys that you love each other and you guys are in your 20s if they dont like it then they dont have to be bothered by the two of you.. You two are old enough to make your owne minds up you cant let your family come in between you! do you guys still live with your parents? because if so the best thing to do is get your owne place befor you run off and get married or tell your parents how it is.
