well tell your parents that they should be judging her based on how she treats you and how compatible you two are, instead of judging her on her own aka the fact that she doesn't have a degree.

I know someone in a similar situation too.

I don't see why they should care so much about whether she has a degree or not. Some of the smartest, richest people don't have university degrees ... ie Gates and Dell (dropped out of Harvard and Stanford respectively)

Also, you're marrying her, not them. YOU would have to deal with her in your life, not them. They're just the sideline spectators

why does your girlfriend not having a degree mean that your life won't be comfortable? Isn't that what YOUR OWN DEGREE is for? why does she have to have one so that YOU are comfortable?

it doesn't matter. even if you're smart enough to get IN to Harvard, you were obviously too dumb to stay in - so even if you can say you got into Harvard, where is your degree? TARAK? Don't bullshit me then, Harvard shmarvard.

Marrying is not about connecting two families - that is the side effect. Marriage is about being with the one you love for the rest of your life. You're obviously not married.

at the same time though, his parents should at least try. it's just a degree, why would it be so crucial to a marriage? I hate it when parents think like this. TS, do your parents both have degrees?

Also, you've only been with her for a year ... marriage should still be a distant thing, though a thought.
