Hi everyone,
I am in love with a beautiful girl, whose parents are family friends with my parents. Her parent asked my dad about our marriage a year back. Since then we have got into a long-distance relationship (I am in US and she is in India) and are very much in love and want to get married.
Now when I came to India last month, my parents pushed her parents to get us married sometime next year since both of us are same age and will be turning 29 next year.
However, the issue is that my girlfriend's elder sister (almost 30) is still unmarried. Though they have been looking for sometime, but not found a match so far. Her parents are adamant that whatever happens, however long it takes, they will not marry the younger one (my girlfriend) to me until the elder one gets married.
My parents voiced their concern that there should be some definite time period (like 6 to 12 months) after which me and my girlfriend should get married especially since we are living so far away and very difficult to maintain long-distance for years.
However, her parents are not ready to listen. My girlfriend listens to her parents always and also blaming me for the whole situation since I am pushing for an early marriage. When I say that this is the right time to marry because of our age, she thinks I just want a younger wife and I don't love her. I am feeling very guilty from my heart but my mind says that I also have a very legitimate stand. She thinks that if I love her, I will be okay to wait forever for an indefinite period.
Please help. Is there a solution? What should I do?
