Parents or love

Hello, I am 32, male living in the U.S. i have always been the model obedient child to my parents but like every desi parent, they always found ways to lecture me growing up hence I don’t have a good relationship with them.

Fast forward to 2 years ago, I met this amazing woman at work and our relationship evolved from a friendship to a very loving one. I went ahead and told my parents about her and they immediately rejected her due to her being Bengali. I fought and fought and I was able to get them to agree to our engagement. I would like to mention here that my fiancé and I decided to keep our age difference a secret from my parents because it would only create a hurdle. A few weeks back, my parents somehow found out she was older, they went behind my back to my fiancé’s house and took the ring back.

I am at a point now where I want to marry this woman without my parents. My parents’ only objections are that she is Bengali, older, and how we hid the age from them. I told them that I hid it because they would never have accepted and Islamically, I am not doing anything wrong by marrying an older woman or marrying someone from a different culture but they are so blinded by their hate that they can’t even listen to me.
