I am in a relationship for past six months. Everything is going well. She is kind, loving, understanding & supportive. Even my parents accept her. We want to get married in later part of year 2025. But sometimes i feel its too early to get married even after considering that we will be knowing each other for a year six months from now. What to do?

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
There is no hard and fast rule that you have to be dating for a certain period of time before you marry someone. But, of course, if you feel it's too soon, you can communicate your concern to your partner. After all, it is important to be on the same page. And who knows, maybe something your partner says or does can put your mind to ease.

Best Wishes.

Hi Anu, I am 30 years old girl and for the past three years, I have been in relationship with a guy who is two years younger to me. He is Marwadi and his parents are not agreeing to our marriage. I have tried breaking up with the guy several times and tried moving on but he always keeps saying that his parents need some time. My BF is a genuine guy and he loves me a lot.My parents on the other hand want me to get married by the end of this year. I am really confused if I should wait for my BF or listen to my parents and get married by their choice. I am unable to understand what to do. I am really depressed. Will it be really late if I get married after 30 or is it okay to wait for my BF?Please help me out.
Ans:

Dear AY,

And is your boyfriend also really depressed like you are?

Is he also desperate to get married?

Is he afraid of talking to his parents?

Does he also want to get married and settle down?

Is there a future for the two of you?

If the answer to each is a YES, please have that ‘uncomfortable yet firm’ conversation with your boyfriend.

Being in a limbo isn’t great, so please ask him how much time he needs to talk to his parents and when he is going to talk to them and how serious is he in this relationship?

Else, it will be an endless wait and that is what seems to be getting to you, the uncertainty.

So, by getting a clear commitment on the WHEN, will eliminate this stress that is eating you away. Things will get clearer, and you will know what to do!

My name is Umesh and my age is 28 and loving girl age is 18 since two years ago. Before started the relationship i spoken to her mother she agree for marriage. Now I am asking for engagement because two years happened and her mother discussed with her brother. But brother is not agree. Girls is saying you should wait after some time he will agree. Note girls father is ded. As I mentioned my age 28 family is forcing me for marriage but girls family not agree. Girls is agree but she wants to wait again for next two years without any confirmation. What should I do. Should I wait her or can I move forward
Ans: There are a few things to consider in this situation.

First, it is important to remember that you are both adults. You are free to make your own decisions about your relationship. However, it is also important to be respectful of your families' wishes.

Second, it is important to be realistic about your expectations. It is possible that the girl's brother will never agree to your marriage. If you are not willing to wait indefinitely, then you may need to move on.

Third, it is important to communicate with your girlfriend. She needs to understand your feelings and your concerns. If she is not willing to compromise, then you may need to reconsider your relationship.

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to wait for your girlfriend is up to you. However, I would encourage you to consider the following points:

Why are you in a hurry to get married?
There is no need to rush into marriage. You are both still young and have plenty of time to find the right person for you.

Are you sure that your girlfriend is the right person for you?
You have only been dating for two years. It is important to make sure that you are both compatible and that you have similar goals for the future.

Are you willing to wait indefinitely for your girlfriend's brother to agree to your marriage?If you are not willing to wait, then you may need to move on.

If you do decide to wait for your girlfriend, I would recommend that you set a deadline. This will give you something to work towards and will help you to stay motivated. It is also important to communicate your deadline to your girlfriend so that she knows what to expect.

There are many other girls out there. If you are not willing to wait for your girlfriend, then you can easily find someone else. However, it is important to remember that finding the right person takes time. Don't rush into anything. Take your time and find someone who is right for you.

Hello Sir/Ma'am My daughter has secured 4150 AIR and 602 Obc Rank What options does she have? She can get tier 3 NLUs, can she get any tier 2 in vacant seats? RMLNLU( she has UP Domicile) ? She can also get DU BA/BBA LLB, should she go there over tier 3 NLUs? Also she is considering taking an edu loan, is it viable for the college options she has?
Ans: Hi Neha Madam,

You have made multiple queries regarding admission opportunities. I am pleased to inform you that she has excellent prospects with an OBC rank of 602 and UP domicile for several top-tier and mid-tier National Law Universities (NLUs) through CLAT.

At RMLNLU Lucknow (Tier 2), there are high chances of securing a seat. Additionally, there are also opportunities available at other Tier 2 universities such as Bhopal, Gandhinagar, and Raipur.

In Tier 2 itself, the chances are promising, so naturally, there are very good opportunities in Tier 3 as well, including universities in Assam, Nagpur, and Shimla.

Regarding Delhi University (DU), both the BA LLB and BBA LLB programs are competitive but possible. However, since she has a good chance of getting into a Tier 2 university, it may be advisable to pursue that option rather than competing for a spot at DU. If she is truly interested in DU, she may apply, but Tier 2 options are more favorable.

Once she joins a university, she can apply for scholarships. Being a meritorious student, she is likely to receive support for an education loan. There's no need to worry; the education loan can be applied for through the Vidyalakshmi portal. Visit the website and register to get support from the bank.

BEST WISHES.
