Would you marry someone your parents did not like?

Never listen to your parents unless they know something that you do not.I say this because I had experienced it.My parents did not let me marry a guy just because they did not liked him and that I was to yang for marriage.Well I was only 20 but that was my life,anyway I did listen to them and after that we did brake up.After that I realized what have I done but I did listen to them.Then I was sorry,now I am not, because I am happily married.Who knows what would be my destiny if...So my advice listen to your heart,not your parents ,after all you are going to live with your love ,its your life and remember life is short and maybe you wont have second chance like I did.

I don't just have to consider this question - I MADE the choice! My mother absolutely HATED my then-fiance, and when she threatened to not allow him around anymore, I packed everything I needed and left with him the very next Sunday, when he came to pick me up for church. 5 months later, we got married, and even though my mother made it perfectly clear several times that she can't stand my husband, she keeps quiet about him when I'm visiting.

I would have to understand why my parents didn't like him first. My Dad is a little bit difficult when it comes to choosing someone to be with, but I think that's just because I'm his daughter and because he doesn't want to lose me or have to see me being hurt by anyone. Luckily, I have never had to make that choice as I am engaged to somebody who both of my parents approve of so that's been easy in that respect. I think that, at the end of the day, I would have to respect my parents' opinions if it came to that.

I am not married even at 45 for am not able to speak from experience.But if i did marry the girl i wished i dont think my mother and dad would have objected. Its the duty of the couple to try and convince the parents and 90% of the time they will agree.

I'll marry the person who I love. I don't care if my parents don't like her. The only thing that matters is that I love her, that's it.

Its a difficult question if we strongly loves that person. But according to me i wil behave what my parents telling because even if i marry her and keep her in my home they wil suffer my wife and suffer themselves. So better i wil marry a girl which my parents choosed so that we can compromise between my wife and my mom because the girl was choosed by my mom. Better decision i dont want to loose my parents for the new girl whom i loved. Its not a cowardic decision but its a sympathetic decision sorry girls .

My mom chose to marry my dad against my grandfather's will. My Dad turned his back on us on the 15th year of their marriage and chose another woman. I guess from this.. i would still say when you have your parent's blessings... it would always be the better choice. Yes it is true that we love a person, and we think he is the right one, he is the perfect one for us... but it would always be the future that we don't know.

Pretty hard to decide. But if you really love the person and then go for love. Time will come that parents would accept and understand fully. I'm glad my bf is just right for me and my family think that way too.

It depends a lot of the cstums of the country you live in. In this site I have friends who live in places where marriages are arranged and that´s the best for them. In other countries, family ties are very strong so it´s difficult to marry someone if parents don´t aprove. And in some countries everyone marries whoever they like. But they are more independent from their peers also. In my country, unless you want to marry a really nasty person, noone would disown you.

First of all, I have to say that would be pretty difficult to me want to marry someone that my parents don't approve. Because, I think that my family only would not like the guy if they had a very good reason, because I know that they only want my best. So, I would probably not marry someone that my family don't like, because I would never chose someone else instead of my family.

If I really love the person, I will no give him up. But that won't mean I will give up my family. I will do all I can to have both ends meet. I will talk to my parents that I love the person so much and I cannot live without him. I will tell them how he makes me feel and to give him a chance to show them he loves me more than I do. I will fight for him until the end and I will not give up on our relationship.

It is funny. My parents were used to raise me till I am being adult.. My parents always give their best to raise me and always take care of me. It is funny, why should I ignore them? I would like to talk with them first. Usually, my parents are rational. They would give clear reasons why can't I marry her. Then, I would change thing that my parents don't like. I will ask my girl to do so. If it is wise thing to do, and if she really loves me, she would be doing it for me. I'll do my best, and if my parents still can't accept her, I will give up her. I believe later, there's a way. Or there's another different way. Seriously, my parents is not the best person in the world, but still, I can't deny them.

a very difficult question, I've been there though but it is the other way around, my parents want me to marry this guy.. and it was the first time i disobeyed them.. but you know what there were times that i came to regret the decision that i made.. just think, you could fall in love a million times and you could easily fall out of love in the same breath but your parents are the only constant thing in your life, their love for you surpasses anyone else. don't you think they will make you do something that will cause your downfall? ask yourself why they don't want that person for you, be open minded because it is true that sometimes love could blind us. cliche but true, parents know best!

i will choose my parents because in sum way they must be wanting sumthing gud for me... i'll try to convinvce them as much as i can but if they dont i'll just stick with them..

Noway that i would be in this situation why they allow me to do whatever i wanted and that i control my life when i am ready, in any case i would follow my parents thats a definite answer coz i love them more than anything this world that can offer me, without them i would not be here in the first place just thinking that is enough to get your answer.

i believe that i decide my fate so in this scenario, of course, i will choose to marry my bf.

My immediate answer is, I'd marry the man. I respect my parents, but if I love a guy and I think he's right for me, then I'd want to be with him despite what my parents say. I'd talk to them and explain how I feel about the situation, and maybe I'd delay the wedding date, but in the end, if we love each other and I think he's perfect for me, then I'm marrying him. I'd still talk to my parents though and I'd try to make them see we are right for each other. I don't want it to turn into a situation where I have to pick one over the other.

I will ask them why dont they like my guy.. maybe they see something bad that I am unable to see 'cause i love the guy so much, and when i knew that what they see in him is not what it really is, i'll explain to them that it's not like that.. and of course, my guy will prove not only to me that he loves me, but to my parents as well that he deserves me. :)
