In America, adult children make their own decisions about their own lives, whether their parents like it or not. A person does not reach full emotional maturity until they have made themselves completely independent of their parents. If you never achieve complete independence, you risk remaining psychologically a child well into your adulthood.

I don’t care what your cultural background is. When you turn 18 in America, you are entitled to call the shots in your own life. With the exception of Nebraska and Mississippi, you can marry at 18 without parental permission… though generally it’s better to wait until your 20s. If you want to get married, then that’s your decision. Pops will just have to live with it. Your religion may be Islam, but you are also American.

However, since you are still a student, it would be wise for you to wait until you’ve graduated, you have a job, your own apartment, and are supporting yourself without financial help from your parents. Only then do you fully become an adult.
