a.mother ji and others, I do believe we need to recognize that most happy marriages are a result of the level of maturity, mutual respect and love between husband and wife. Of course happy families on both sides are icing on the cake of marriage bliss.

At a practical level as people say,

LAUGH, AND THE WORLD LAUGHS WITH YOU......

WEEP, AND YOU WEEP ALONE.

I have seen happiness multiply where man and woman show happiness and many families learn to be happy again. Bit of a gamble.

The other part is with couples living more and more on their own, one of my neighbors said a very striking thing to me,

"In this word we usually are as family members so mobile and many times so far apart from other family siblings, that it helps a great deal if functionally you consider your neighborhood a family as you definitely spend more time there."

Sat Sri Akal.

Ambarsaria – Thank you for your response it gives me strength. To be honest I am very confused. I think I needed these different views and opinions to allow me to think of all the different aspects.

a.mother I appreciate your views and would not put this pressure on my daughter or son, it just seems his family are not happy with the idea of me but I love him dearly and just want to opportunity to meet them to see if they change their views, I just don’t want to give up and forget him with out a fight, but am I fighting a losing battle. My views are not to give up on love with out a battle because I maybe throwing away what could be an amazing future.

Thank you all again x

Gyani ji, I think this is true meaning of marriage to care about everybody family,friends and community, but todays world people don't have that much patient. We can see daily selfish people. If we can't sit together i call that HELL not marriage. After all this still there are very some people who fulfill their duties toward husband's family.

star girl ji , It is nice to hear from you about same caste and religion(one less hurdle). And as you said it just seems his family are not happy with the idea of me . That is really i cannot swallow. Is that hurting your self respect? When they know you are with him and they are asking him to look for girls is that not hurting you? Choice is yours.

And ambarsaria ji, you are right when you laugh world laughs with you ( it doesn't matter if you are a good person ,gunda or mavaali) but when you weep you are all alone.( it doesn't matter if you are honest daani or well wisher for everyone)
