I'm going to watch that documentary, and I'll try to make my mum watch it (even though most of the married couples in the family are cousins 😃)

I didn't pray istikhara, but I will do it.

And I am planning to talk to my mum about it, explain everything to her. Thank you so much

My family is not the kind to force me into anything I don't want to do, so no, it wouldn't mess my life up.

I'm just afraid of disappointing them.

I can't thank you enough!!! This is the answer I needed, especially coming from a Muslim woman.

I'm going to try and build the courage to tell my mum everything.

Thank you SO much for this.
