    I want to marry.......

    :salam2: I don't think she did anything wrong islamically. Whether or not she committed a social faux pas is another matter, but again I don't think she erred. Though it may seem a little forward of her to write such a message, she used her initiative and good on her for thinking outside the...

I can't drive so my parents would need to give me a lift to the train station every morning at 6.45. Understandably, they are not too happy about this and so...
