Be Optimistic i would suggest you to continue your studies at any cost so you can graduate,& not marry until then, After some time parents will clam down plead your parents to allow you to continue your study, even if it means to join part time jobs to meed your educational , personal needs Legally parents CANNOT Force you to MARRY you can case against them.

Please do not commit suicide or run away (it could land you up in worse situation especially for women). Have hope in your self be STRONG even if it appears whole world is against you! DO WHAT YOU LOVE, & care for nothing

ONce you have completed graduation & a proper job everything will normalize

Hey… always remember “When the going gets touch, the tough gets going.”

Do NOT lose hope just yet, be firm on your convictions and make them understand your point of view. If they are rigid, try to seek help from close relatives from your mother or father’s side and let them talk to your parents.

The best way to handle these type of situation is give yourself some time, focus on your studies at the moment and try to reach out to confident and close family members for advice.

All the best
