Even though people often say that age does not matter in love but it is easy to say to just have a simple love affair or even if you want to live together .. But what if a couple where the bride is elder of 3 years or more than that than the groom and their parents will not accept this relationship, what should they do! Should they obey their parents and cancelle the idea of getting married or They should stick to the theory of age dies not matter and marry against their parents decision..

They should do what they want! One day the parents will be dead and gone and the couple will live their life regretting not getting married because the parents were against it. I know many people like this. They got married to others and still pining for their choice.
Unless they are both underage people but instead consenting adults then they should be let to make their own choices and get married regardless of what other people think.
So many parents in the world view their children as an extension of themselves when the reality is they are individual n unique. Yes parents can make important decisions for their children when they are small but once they turn 18 they have every right to make their own decisions n the parents have to respect that freedom. Its a tragedy when parents let their egos take priority over parental love.
First I want to Thank You all for participating in my poll by voting and comments..
Actually in our society people often say big things to build their own larger than life image.. But when it comes to take action in reality, most of them act exactly opposite what they have been declared before..
Saying age does not matter to get a lover(specially elder women) is very easy for peoples.. But Marry the same elder woman against parents and society's decision is something else ..
Nothing wrong with parents wanting the best for their kids, 18 or 48 you will always be someones' child... Instead of rushing into rebellious scenario, I'd give the relationship some time to prove itself...
Elder woman?...three years difference is hardly elderly and if you live the rest of your life according to your parents decisions then you're obviously co-dependent and cant make decisions for yourself....
It is not a simple question. According to Indian culture parents love their childrens unti death. Parents love is bigger than few days of relationship love. In today modern world relationship (love) is like a chewing-gum. Chewed until the sweetness is over, after then it is spitted in form of breakups & divorces. How can we go against parents dicision only for a few days of relationship.
I am not religious but i will say one amazing thing in Hindu religion, there is no word defined for divorce in Hindi dictionary.
It's funny how the lot of you live in multicultural societies and swear you are all for tolerance and understanding...but when it comes to show it you lack the slightest ability to do so... It's not a Hollywood read of an exotic love story, it's life for those people, and it's harsh too...
Mostly love makes blind & marriage opens the eyes. Before marriage (in love relationship) everything looks correct (everything seems fair in love), age doesn't matter, face doesn't matter, disabilities doesn't matter, etc. etc. And after marriage everything does matter. I will not say everybody is like that, but mostly is like that. Our parents have marriage experience, we don't have. They knows better (before marriage & after marriage).
So we have to tel our parents everything about our love relationship in beginning. They will suggest you correctly.

Another trippy thing.
In my study of comparative religions, it seems to me that a virgin birth would be most impressive in a Vedic society; and The Bible has prophecys that were made specifically for the benefit of Gentiles.

Well I live in the UK and I don't have cultural aspects to consider. Does it matter if I am older. To me yes it does, I would feel odd about it. But there again I doubt I would be in this position.
As for my parents. Well I am old enough and stupid enough to go with what my heart says. After all I am living my life, they are not living it for me.
I would hope, that they would respect that. Especially at my age.
