sai,

sad post.

it looks like lnpra the originator, is from maharashtra. hopefully, our tambrams are not so stupid. still sad. very sad for hinduism. or whatever dharma, that appears to be absent here

Here is an interesting thread on the subject of brahmins:
how to get converted into Brahmin - IndusLadies

any solutions from our end?

Sri Saidevo-ji -
There is no solution because there is no problem to be addressed by anyone other than what this boy wants to do.
If they both really care to form a union they should go ahead and get married.

They both can learn all about Dharma and teachings of Gita and try to live a life supporting each other. I think they can truly teach the parents of the boy what it means to be Satvic and compassionate to others. Over time I am sure everyone around them will learn to accept them.

Understandably (not that I agree with the immaturity) the parents of the boys are upset that they are losing control over their son. These will correct itself.

Just sharing my thoughts !

Although I am only in favour of endogamy, I think genuine cases might be considered. If the boy and girl are of different states and laguages, this complicates matters further. It is understandable (but not detestable) that in practical life, values that take precedence over the others are perhaps in this order: personal->family->religious->social->national->global. But then today's dharma seems to go in the reverse direction, bringing up such problems in its course.

Sri Saidevo -

I understand your point about the wisdom of seeking alliances that are well matched and in that sense as a starting point endogamy including similar economic background might be fine. However, once there is a relationship in progress and if the main reason for rejection is some caste based prejudice, then the parents need some education. It seems from the plea of the girl that she is ready to do anything. If the pair is well matched in every other way they have to ignore the parents assuming the boy is serious

Birth alone is the key and everything else will fall in place automatically.
