Marriage is important in your life. It is something you can build on, and everyone has the right to choose their soul mate themselves, without having to look at caste, religion or skin color.

1. Pick an appropriate time to talk to your parents. Avoid talking to them when they are tense or irritated.
2. Try to explain to your parents why you love your partner. List the reasons why you love him or her and why you fell in love with him or her in the first place, even if that makes it seem like you are coming up with a business proposal.
3. Check for marriages in your family between people of a different caste, or marriages that are otherwise unconventional and have proven successful. Use those examples to support your proposal.
4. Look for people who can support you. Have people (like your cousins ​​who are married) who are supportive when you talk about your upcoming marriage.
5. Ask them if they want to meet your future partner, and let them make their own decision without putting pressure on them. Ask them to be unbiased when they meet your partner.

If they don't respect your decision, don't under any circumstances allow them to put you down!

Tips

• It can help if your parents already know the person you are in love with, and if they already have a good impression of him or her. If not, try to make sure they have met your loved one at least once at an informal gathering before telling them that you want to marry your loved one.
• When introducing each other to your families, make sure that you emphasize how good and caring the other person is. But don't introduce each other as life partners just yet. First, give the families time to get to know your loved one. Always make a good impression by being caring. Let all your lovely cousins ​​know that you are in love and that you need their support. After a few months, both families will know you, and then they won't be so stressed if you let them know that he or she is your other half and that you want to marry each other. Because then they know you, and then they can probably have faith in your marriage, just like you.
