I am a Jatt Sikh girl of 28 yrs. I am in love with a Rajput guy from Patna from the past 6 yrs. We both met while perusing MBA from Delhi. We have been continuing a long distance relationship from the last 4 years and are still going very strong with our relation. He was working in Delhi itself for 3 yrs and has shifted to Lucknow for the past one year. He wants to relocate back to Delhi ASAP.
Our relationship is a very mature one and I have no doubts about the sustainability of our relationship. He takes great care of me and I am sure that I will be the happiest with him. My parents have a little problem with his salary but the main bone of contention is the word “BIHARI”. I have tried to convince them but to no avail. I even told them that Patna is one of the five “takhts” of Sikhism and Guru Gobind Singh Ji was born here. Moreover, I have made it very clear to the guy that it would not be possible for me to stay in a joint family in patna, and he is okay with the idea. He has also bought a house in Delhi.
Everything seems to be fine and when the guy is so capable, there should not be a problem with his family background. The only problem is that they think that people will make fun of them that they have married off their daughter to a Bihari inspite of the fact that he is so progressive and capable. My parents are very open minded otherwise and tell me that they are okay with any guy from north india. They tell me that they don’t want to marry me off so far away, but we will stay in delhi only after marriage.
Please guide me that am I wrong in being adamant on my decision. If everything else is okay, is it justified to reject a boy just because he is a bihari.
