What if parents agree and are happy about it? Talking in general and not related to anyone.

If parents agree then how would it be going against religion? My religion says that marriage which goes against parents is a sin, so if parents are happy about it then the marriage wouldn't be a sin would it?

ok thanks for the clarification.

It makes me wonder that when we become parents then should we think about the "happiness" of the society or of our children.

Why do we see things from only one perspective. It definitely is wrong to hurt ones sentiment; if the person[s] happen to be our biological (or otherwise) parents, then it is a worse matter. I agree that children should try to live upto their parents expectation.

Manoj Kumar can omit religion for marriage, but not marriage for his country.

If faith is strong enough, it can never be "omitted", perhaps compromised at a certain level, but never omitted. I'm not quite sure why we automatically jump to parents, society, and other things rather than ourselves and what we think.

When we look for a significant other, I think we can all safely agree that we don't always look for opposites. In fact, the first thing we look for in others are base similarities because we are more easily able to relate to people who share things with us.

Now what these base similarities are differs from person to person. To someone who has a very strong national identity, perhaps they would look for someone of their nationality. To someone who finds religion to be a core value will look for someone who shares their beliefs. And so on.

Personally, to me, faith is of utmost significance. I could not imagine myself to be with someone who doesn't share the same beliefs as I do. I wouldn't be able to relate with them on many levels, Because faith is predominant over everything else, we'd always be conflicting in our core values, and I don't have the kind of patience to put up with that.

Now, of course that's just me. Just because I wouldn't like that does not mean that the same applies to everyone or that I would judge them because of their choices. In the end, we are all individuals with different perspectives, and of course it would only make sense that we make different choices.
