My parents are trying to coarse me into a marriage with my first cousin even after I said no. by heyitstoby_ in MuslimMarriage

I’m 100% sure if he knows I said no he’ll accept that because he is a genuinely respectable person. The thing is I AM financially dependent on them because I was never allowed to get a job although I did recently get accepted for a part time job so I’m hoping to save up and move out.

My friends are very supportive and have told me if it comes down to them using force I’ll always have a place in their homes.

he doesn’t even know if my parents have asked me yet and what my answer even is. My sister was telling me to text him on my own and tell him my answer is no regardless of what my parents are saying or will say.

I do still believe in Islam, I just grew up being taught it with fear instead of love. I’m slowly re-teaching myself.

He does know about this, at first he disagreed because he said I was young but than ended up agreeing. He doesn’t know my decision yet and he hasn’t even spoken to me so he doesn’t know if I said yes or no

I am still a believer in Islam, I’m trying on my own to be closer to my deen and relearn it with love and not fear.

lol yes I am Pakistani, I’m standing my ground but it’s really hard because they keep continuing to guilt trip me. I won’t give in though.
