Is Loving a Crime?

Dear Diary,
I received the below e-mail from a girl :

I am a 27 year old independent and loving Punjabi girl. I am in love with a Hindu guy who is 2 years older than me.
We have been together for 3 years. He is fun, loving, good hearted and sweet. However, my parents are against this relationship. I want to marry my sweetheart but they do not allow it as we have different religion.

My Answer:
As your parents are not listening, you have no choice unless you are prepared to defy their wishes and marry the man you want. This will however brings tension, pressure and the occasional regret to the relationship.
When you have a fight, you will feel that you have sacrificed too much for him. It will not be fun for him either when you are unhappy.
If you dare to marry your sweetheart, you must have the courage to beat the odds and brave the battles ahead.
