I and a girl are in love with each other but our family specially her mother is not interested. The only problem is she is senior than me but we both love each other and really want to live together. Her mother is looking for her wedding. Can anyone give any suggestion how to cancel a proposal.

I don't understand this. Do you want to marry this girl or not? It sounds like the mother is against it, but then you say the mother is looking for her wedding. If you can clarify, maybe I can help.

Oh...I get it now. Where are you from my friend. In the USA, the person getting married makes the decision on who they will marry and they marry for love. It is a shame the mother doesn't want you to be her son in law, but if her daughter really truely loves you, she needs to explain this to her mother. She needs to tell her that she loves and respects her mother but she will be marring you and she hopes that she someday will accept this.

If you are really serious about each other, you will have to tell both your families about this. Tell them that both of you intend to marry with or without their consent. You must be mentally prepared to deal with the consequences. They might protest and they might be rather upset. But I feel that there is no other choice in this situation.

Yeh, I am mentally prepared to deal with the consequences and this true that we should tell our family and hope for their help.

If you love her then why not marry her? If her mother doesn't like you, that shouldn't be the reason to hold you back from marrying the person you want to spend your life with. There will be others who don't like you, but you can't please the world. It's your heart and her heart that matters. If you think you deserve each other, no one should stop you. However, if you don't love her that much and have the need to cancel your proposal, then do it right away. Tell her the truth, that's the best way to handle it.

Hello there, do you know the true why your family and your girl friend's mother are not interested on your marriage with the girl? Personally I don't think your girl friend is senior than you is the main reason as you are indeed too young to get married. You may not be 'younger' than her mentally, but for your real age you could be still in the university or just start the career. Therefore, I would suggest you have a proper conversation with them and request them to give you both a few years together so that you can prove you will achieve in your carer and are capable of marrying her and having a family. All the best!

Love has some strong bond. If she really loves you then there is no problem. Just convince her mother with some of her best friends. Friends are really helpful in this case. If your family have no problem with your lover then the things will be much easier and that can solve your problem. You should be confident from your father and mother and then friends of your father and mother can also approach to her family with this wedding. I think you try these. It will help you. Hope you get your love very soon. Best Wishes.

i was wondering that are you still with this girl. since your post is 11 months ago. it is said that as long as there is love, don't care about other people's opinions. in this sense, her mother's view isn't important. however, marriage do involve more than love, it's also a combine of two families. so find a balance between love and family is important. good luck, my friend!
