My sister is engaged, but my family is against it

My sister is happily in love and wants to get engaged, but my family is completely against it. Their attitude drives me crazy; what should I do? My sister is very sad, but I also think my family might have a point.

They experienced the same thing in our neighborhood; the girl was 20 and her family wouldn’t let her go just because of her age. Then the girl secretly ran away, and only two people from the neighborhood saw the wedding, that’s it. In other words, the family should pay attention too; if they press too hard, it might backfire.

Okay, but what is her fiancé like? What is the situation with her family?

@camkenari’s fiancée has a bit of an issue with her family, but my sister loves her, and it seems like she has no problems outside of her family.

@makarnaoncesi this generalization is very wrong. There might be another problem besides age, as they have already mentioned that there are issues in her fiancé’s family.

clearly the families of both parties are important in a marriage, because in the future, there will definitely be some kind of connection. if the families are opposed from the beginning, it can create unrest in the long term. all parties must sit down and try to understand each other.
