Obeying one's parents
Question
I like this boy and he likes me.We are ready to get married however my parents disapprove because we are of different casts. I do not want to go
against my parents but are they allowed to do this according to Islam? They have not met him or his family. What is the best way to deal with the
situation and what can I read?
Answer
You should listen to your parents. Refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/4583
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
