My parents wants to get me married.

Salaam Sister Nadia,
Very brave sister that you finally decided to speak out about this.
I really hope the best for you and of course you should find a man to marry on your own, you are an adult.
Take Care!
Many hugs your sister
Majidah -
Salam.
Thank you Jaxal and sister Majidah for your support, and thank you Wakas for the aya.
I guess this isn't a religios matter but more a traditional one.
It's so hard to go against my own parents, bur in this case I dont think I have any other choices.Peace

peace Nadia,
I never had much time to reply before, hence the short post.
Ahh yes tradition, many people mix the two as they please. I watched a documentary once and it was about Muslim reverts and in one case a female had reverted and married a Muslim Pakistani male. During the course of the interview, she said that she had to re-educate her husband about Islam, because "he was not brought up as a Muslim but as a Pakistani" lol Amusing as well as very true!
Anyways, back to the topic...
You need to sit down and have a talk with your parents. But before doing that, you need to think up as many points in your favour as possible so you'll be ready when you have the talk, get your brothers/sisters on side (if you have any), or even friends/aunts/uncles/cousins etc. If they still wish to enforce a choice, try to compromise by allowing introductions to whom they wish to introduce you to but you get the final say.

What Jaxal just recommended u to say was great, u know the traditional arabic style!! - the most important for the parents is to see their "children" study, study, study..... x
I hope everything will work out, and I'll pray for u in sha Allah!!

Thank you sis Majidah, and sis Sara. And most of all thank you S, I love you! Your patience with me only complaining all the time, meant so much to me. You gave me strength and hope.
