The bigger question is WHY don't the parents approve. But in the short of it, YES I would. It's no longer my parents life to say what I can and can't do. So they either learn to love the person I do, or stay out of it. I think most of the time, they learn to at the very least appreciate the person, as long as they make you happy.

I would if they were the right person for me and I loved them. Your parents should be happy when you are happy and being with the right person will make you happy for the rest of your life.

I agree that parents are not always right, but in that regard, none of us humans are. Whatever it is that makes your parents disapprove your marriage, you will have to make sure are not going to come true, to the best of your ability. You will hurt their feelings by marrying this person, and you may not have your family stand by to help out when things go wrong with your marriage. Once you know the consequences of both choices, you can decide which way you want to go.

Of course i would. I am the only one who decides who i marry to. It's my life. Obviously i'd listen to their opinion, but once i had done so, my decission is mine, not theirs and i'd expect them to respect it.

Though it will be great and wonderful to find someone that is okay with our parents and relatives, I still will go with someone whom I wanted to marry in my life. Why?, simply that I will be the one who will be married and will lived with him/her and not my parents. Marriage involves many things, love, relationship, commitment, etc. It is very important to include and involve many things before committing to marriage and besides there are so many cases of broken marriages (some last for a few days only) cause by parent's commitment.

If I truly love a person I don't really care if my parents approved of them or not. I think parents should middle in there kids lovelife or marriage as it is for a lifetime commitment already . Parents must be a moral adviser but not to the extent that they will choose someone for there kids spouse or mate. It would only cause problems from Family and I think it is not very healthy to them.

Yes I would. My parents are not going to live with him. And if I loved him enough, all I could care about is how I feel. I think as long as he's the type who will not embarass me or my family, he should be appropriate.

its not as simple as to say yes or no.it depends on many many things the society in which ur living ur family..how much they have pressure on u...to what extent ur free to take such decisions.and if u take a bold step can u handle the reaction of ur family and parents.i did court marriage 3 years ago against all my familys will.i live in pakistan its very very hard surviving in such a society where ur stamped bad.i belong to a very rich family and my husband was middle class.my family said he did it for money.its not true we really love each other.my inlaws are very nice educated n respectful.cutting it short it passed 3 years i didnt see my family they dont want to have any contact with me.although i m very happy and satisfied with my decision but i really miss them.we need every relation bro sis parents in our life and i am very upset but they dont want to peep in my heart.and one more thing i want to share i am lucky that i have chosen the right person and loving family .
