LOVE vs Religion, family.......?

I'm a british bangladeshi maylasian and a muslim so i understand that families especially of asian backgrond impose strict rules in marrying within on religion and background. My parents allows me to choose but has to be a muslim (whether convert or born) but race or nationality is not an issue. I think if you explain to your parents that you are not ready to choose someone you are not in love with and if you fall in love then you will be ready for marriage. If your parents does not listen then try an older brother you trust or other relative to talk to your parents. Some Parents still insists you to fall in love with someone that is same caste. If that is the case then try and keep that in mind when ever you fall in love and atleast they are not arranging a guy for you to choose but allowing you to choose ........ best wishes xxxxx
