I’m 19M, my girlfriend is 17F. We’ve been dating for almost a year now. Her family has no idea though, because she refuses to tell them; and it honestly hurts. My family loves her. Her family’s Muslim and she says that’s the reason she can’t tell them yet, but she will… eventually. I get that they’re Muslim, but come on, we live in the West and it’s a free country. I’ve never pressured her about it but it still upsets me.
Understand that women in muslim families often have little freedom and that marriage with non-muslims is traditionally prohibited for them, if her family sees a problem with you, she could get beaten for that, locked inside the house, etc. It’s not something to mess around with.
She could also be murdered.

So we as society just accept these behaviors as normal and should work around them 🤡
What do you suggest we do?
Don’t tell a young buck being on such relationship is OK.
He should not be wasting his time on this. This is not a his problem. These people are the problem. Nothing good is going to come out for him out of this.
