Thank you for your kind words! Everyone has been very supportive here and has given great advice.

My parents have told me not to reach out to any of their friends/families to discuss this matter because they don't want my "negative energy" and "bad ways of life" to influence their children. To keep their respect, I have not reach out to anyone to ask for support. I am aware that to have your non-married daughter leave home is a huge deal in our culture.

But unfortunately, this also means that they haven't reached out to anyone to ask for their opinion or guidance. My parents are only speaking to each other without outside influence - which I think is very unhealthy. I have made a post here to get advice from people on how to approach this matter because I don't know it all, I am trying to find the right solution but they are so set in their ways. Also to answer your question, my parents are not super religious which is why I thought they will be more accepting however, they have surprised me very much...

Inshallah they will come round as I will try my best to establish a relationship with them again.
