Question

I am 30 years old. I like my cousin since last ten years and wish to marry her. But my family members are not ready to accept her because she is an educated girl. My mother died three years ago and I promised here that I will aceede all things of my father and unmarried sisters. Now I am in KSA and my father and two unmarried sisters are livingin Pakistan. We are trying our best to get married our sisters but all in vain. I was wished my mother also that she will marry me to an educated girl. Now please guide me whether I marry that girl or not? Thanks.

Answer

We suggest you make Istikhaara as well as take Mashwara of your senior family members.

And Allah Taãla Knows Best.
