Question: Love marriage
Salam.
I will try to be very short as required. I am 21 years old, and there is a guy, also 26 years old this year. We both are Muslims. We want to get married, but my parents don’t agree. My parent's disagreement isn’t based on Islam but on issues like caste and status. I pray 5 times a day, but sometimes unfortunately I do skip my prayers, but I try to pray as we should. I wear a hijab and try to follow Islam as much as possible. I stay far from him so basically we are long distance. My parents don't agree with me marrying him at first it is because of the long distance and second is based on caste and status. My parents don't believe in love marriage as long distance. I am staying with my family in America but he is from Pakistan. I tried to talk to them but still they would disagree with me and use a lot of bad words that made me cry a lot. I know as a Muslim person, we shouldn't fight or talk back to our parents but still, they are not open-minded to Pakistani people because they're scared that they will hurt their daughter's heart. In my point of view, not most people will do the same things because I believe there is more love in marriage than fight
Is there any wazifa or what should I do to make our marriage approved by my parents?

It is Haram to be in such a relationship. Hence, love marriages are not allowed.

When marrying someone it is recommended to look for compatibility in piety.

We advise that you communicate with your parents in a wise and gentle manner. It is also advisable to contact your local scholar or a respectable member in the community to convince your parents to have the Nikah done.

Only Allah Knows Best
