QUESTION: My family’s marriage proposal for me was almost fixed, but I never wanted it because I loved someone else. Despite telling them, I was pressured to agree. I didn’t speak to the chosen man for six months because I didn’t want the marriage. Eventually, he understood and the proposal stopped. Now everyone is deeply hurt, and some curse me. Am I sinful for stopping the marriage and hurting everyone?

ANSWER:
You are sinful for being in a relationship with someone else but you are not sinful for refusing to marry someone you don’t want.
