Question

Is it good to go against your parents wish and get married to girl whose out of one's caste and leave your parents? Is this fine? What does Allah Ta'ala say about this? What is the solution?

Try not to displease your parents. Obviously the experience and understanding they have is far greater than the experience you have. Allah Ta`ala loves obedience to parents.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
