This happened to someone I know. He fell in love with a girl. They were an exact match for each other. He was Tarkhan, she was Jatt. They were together for over one and a half years. She never told her parents about them two being together. Her parents wanted her to marry a Jatt, his family didn't care about caste.

In the end, after more than a year and a half of love and wanting to get married and planning a future together (kids etc.), she got introduced to another guy who was a Jatt. And instead of standing up for her relationship she had with my friend and saying the truth, she broke my friends heart and stabbed him in the back to save her own skin. She's now going to marry this new guy, after destroying my friend.

Much like your guy, my friend risked it all to make it work. It's been almost a year since she betrayed him, but he's still suffering, and she didn't look back even once to see how he was.

This is the problem with people today. They want to play grown up games and "be in a relationship". But when it comes to actually standing up for the relationship, they chicken out and back down, even if it means breaking another person's heart. Because, who cares right? As long as you save your own skin...

To the original poster, I'm not having a go at you, but this does happen. If this boy is exactly the type of guy your parents would want (except the caste of course), then you got a chance. The only real advice is to tell them the truth and stick to your guns. I've seen this situation so many times, and I can tell you that you can 1000% make it work. But you gotta have the balls to stand up for what's right. Otherwise, much like my friend, you will destroy this guy. 

I really hope this works out for you, because I tired of seeing good people get heart broken. Wish you all the best .

wjkk wjkf bai ji first of all I don't believe in caste system BUT  I live in a society which believe in the caste system (sadly) and hopefully soon we will get over this issue in the future with Guru Ji's blessings. but for now we just have to deal with it and find the best possible solution for it.

I understand and feel sorry for your friend, however they both knew at the first place that they were different caste and it will be an issue for them, so why didn't they tell their parents earlier? of course after one and half year of relationship they will suffer if they have to go apart or at least one of them as in your friend's case!

NOTE: Solution:- in my opinion, have a clear regular communication between you and your parents instead of an argument. listen to the parents because they have been through this age. slowly make them understand with the examples from Guru Ji's bani and lifestyle. 

I wouldn't just fall into the relationship and leave it to the last minute to worry about it. I would just deal with it before starting relationship with someone.

He trusted her. She promised him. He asked her point blank if she was happy with this, if she wanted to marry him, if she loved him, if she would convince her parents. She answered yes every single time. So if she betrays him at the most crucial point, what the hell is he gonna do?

Her family may have had a strong influence on her decisions. Its sad but now its done, he needs to understand his feelings and pull himself together. Its a big life lesson for him. He will get through it and the sooner he does the better. Instead of being bitter think of it as Vahegurus lessons along the journey through life.

All break ups where people are emotionally involved and committed are painful.

This is life and it seems to happen more these days. 

Back to OP. As per advice above, open and honest conversations should happen by each person and their parents as soon as you think things might get serious. If the other person cant or doesnt want to speak to their parents then you know its not serious or they cant commit, perhaps dont get too involved and be sensible. This shouldnt be forced, its quite pressurising for some people, often a big issue in stricter families.

In some families marriage is also the merging of two families so parents and family have more to consider so things can get complicated.  Thats regardless of caste, families often look beyond the couple. In the west its more about two ppl. We sometimes get stuck between it all.

Go for it. 

Good luck. 

You should be able to marry anyone you like. 

Be free. 

God will not punish you even if you marry a black or white person

Whilst I agree, when you trust someone, you don't see the betrayal coming. And of course, everything is "easy" in hindsight, but when you're in that situation (like the OP) it's a different case.

But yes, lessons to be learnt. If you don't have the guts or the intention to see it through, then don't start anything. 

OP - sort this out before you destroy this guy. And tbh, whilst I agree you should give examples from Gurbani etc., the main thing that's going to convince them is your resolve and solid intentions. That's all there really is to it...

surely it can be an expensive lesson.

my opinion: there are two ways of leaning thing. first learn from others experiences or mistakes, second you learn from your experiences or mistakes.  

most parents actually try to guide their children with their experience so they don't suffer in young age but its the "teen age" where we don't listen much and fall into the difficult situation.
