I study in a mixed university i want to stop studying and focus on my deen and study islam. My mother does not approve of this as she says that i need to have a good education so i can support myself in the future if anything goes wrong. She has a point and i sometimes think she is right. Also early marriages are encouraged in islam and maybe i can just get married as i do have a proposal
