Is it wrong to marry people from different races?
I am a young 26 year old girl. I want to marry an Arab whose hometown is Damascus. We are both people who read the Quran and pray. But my family does not want the person I love just because he is from Damascus. He didn't wrong anyone, but they didn't even want to know him. While there is no religion, language and race discrimination in Islam, should I let them make this distinction and give up on the person I love?
Your worry about delay in marriage has turned the chance in front of you into an opportunity that you cannot miss. What your family is doing is wrong, but you are not doing the right thing either. Cultural difference and a marriage to be made after this point will bring you to say yes to a life that makes you sad. I think you should end this.
