We really want to get married and unable to accept anyone else in this relationship. We both are mature and independent. Please tell me that what should we do. We are completely aware of the responsibilities of this marriage. Please help me in this matter.
Answer
Premarital relationship is haraam and forbidden. This is a great wrong you have engaged in. Make taubah for this and thereafter both of you should conform to the wishes of your elders. If his elders are unhappy then just call this off.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
