Hello. I needed some advice. I am going to make this long story short. I am
27 year old female. I have been dating my boyfriend for 4 years. Both of
our families knew everything about us. I had started to meet his family on
a regular bases. We all loved eachother and knew everyone would be okay
with us getting married. When our families met, my parents basically said
NO indirectly due to his caste being lower. I am a Darji and he is a Majbi sikh.
Neither of us care about this caste nonsense and we are both well educated
and love each other. I don't know if leaving my family would be the right
thing. I am trying to still convince my family as they are still saying no. me and him are still dating
and hoping for the best. His family loves me very much. I know I will be
happy in the long run with him and I know that I wouldn't ever marry
another man. We have shared everything together and we both want this. Can
you guys help with some advice. The main problem is my parents are highly educated but are still stick with the caste system? Any way to break this? In America, is it really a big issue for caste?
