1. Communicate Openly
The first step is to have a calm and honest conversation with your family. Explain your feelings and listen to their concerns. Sometimes, misunderstandings can be resolved through dialogue.
2. Seek Mediation
If direct communication doesn’t work, involve a trusted elder, relative, or religious scholar who can mediate and help convince your family. A neutral person’s opinion can sometimes make a difference.
3. Give Them Time
Families may need time to accept your decision. Avoid rushing or forcing them, as this can create more resistance. Be patient and continue showing them that your choice is well-considered.
4. Show Commitment & Responsibility
Prove to your family that you and your partner are serious about this relationship. Demonstrate maturity, financial stability, and a clear plan for the future to ease their worries.
5. Legal Option (If Necessary)
