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.
