I've been in a situation like that before im not sure how tense it is with your family but what i did was just create a barrier between the two. Of course you want to pick your family but when your heart tells you something you have to follow it too. I just continued to date the person, of course i didnt spend as much time with him but we did communicate alot and respected my decision and knew why i didnt want to bring him around too much and things like that. just do what your heart says to do.

If you both are matured enough to marriage then you can marry wihtout your family permission. but, try to get them to your line. tell them that your life will be miserable if you lose any of love or family. tell them that you love your family members & you dont want to break. You should have good reasons why you are getting married to her. tell them the reasons sadly why & what is the reason behind your marriage to that girl. you will sure get both family & love.

You didn't go into datails as to why your family doesn't like her. If it is a matter of one person having money and the other doesn't -- talk to your family. Money isn't everything in life. If it is other issues then you should still talk to your family, find out why they don't accept her -- see if you agree. If you don't agree, put your side out. From that you need to decide if she is worth it. If you are sure she is the one don't let her go.

A person should always follow their heart. It will almost always lead you in the right direction. Plus your family can't always control every aspect of your life.
