Question

I love a male, he also loves me alot but both of us couldn't get marry due to some reasons and now we have decided that we will never get marry to someonelese because it is dishonesty to love one and marry other. Is it permissible if not then why?

Answer

The mutual promise between the boy and girl not to marry another person as it will be dishonest to do so is baseless. If one has the urge to marry, it is compulsory upon her to marry and protect his/her chastity.
