Just imagine that finally your parents agree to meet your boyfriend in person. you introduce him to your family, a long conversation takes place between your parents and your guy and just after he leaves your parents disapprove him or shall i say reject him strictly. you try to fight back and put in good words for your boyfriend but nothing seems to work out. you know that you love your guy dearly and can't live without him and so does he. your boyfriend gives you the idea of running off. would you leave your parents and run off with your boyfriend and get married? would running off be considered as a good option?

First, I will look for another way to talk to my parents so that they will approve my boy friend. Second, I will not think of escaping with my boy friend because that a lame excuse. You can always talk to your parents and in time they will accept your boyfriend because they will see that you've proven enough and you are very sincere with the love that you have for your partner. Running away with him/her can cause more problems, both of your parents might hate what your suppose to do and the more they will not accept your relationship. Better to think first before doing something you might regret all your life. If there's a will, there's a way! Always remember that.

my bf now is a badass and many of my relatives dont like him. i would run off with him if he has enough resources for us to live, eat 3 times a day and have a decent home. but if he has problems financially then it will be difficult for the 2 of us to live together.

I have pretty much done this, but without the disproval. I already knew he wasn't up to anybodies (including my) standards. I was just young (18) and needed some independence. Weve lived together for about 3 years now and Im finally realizing "oh my parents were right"... I just wish it didn't take me almost 3 years to learn this lesson.

I did run off with my boyfriend who my parents strongly disapproved of. And it has been the best 13 years of my life. Also my parents reasons were selfish. They know he was in the ARMY and that I would be moving along ways away. I have to caution you that it also depends on the reason they dislike him.
