I think we had a topic on similar lines just a few days ago.
Well anyway, first of all, I think it is the children's loss and not the parents' if the child runs away. Secondly, that is probably not the best thing the lovers could have done.
For a girl/guy that you have known for a few years, why would you want to throw aside a relationship worth 20+ years? It's not always the case that the parents are right but if you have lived with your parents, you should know how they would react to your decision. One should know if the parents will be okay with the decision or not. If not, you just should not go ahead with the relationship, unless your parents have never been important to you.
Sometimes, parents can be stubborn for silly reasons. But after all, they also have dreams! They have probably dreamt about their son/daughter's wedding more than the kids themselves and to see them doing something against their wishes would hurt for sure! And, that does not mean that the kids just leave their parents and run away. You have to give it time and usually, parents understand after a while and happily get their children married. So, if time can be of help, why be a rebel and strain the relationship when it can be done easily?
But then are exceptions as well. There is this uncle I know of, who apparently still meets his lady love from college days after having five children and has stopped talking to his own daughter who decided to marry the guy of her own choice. What a hypocrite, I say! so, marrying according to parents and still carrying on your love life with someone else is okay but marrying your love and not cheating is not okay! 🤢 For parents like this, the children should definitely teach them a lesson. If the parents can not be moralistic, they definitely should not expect their children to be full of morals.
So, I guess it deoends upon situations but most of the times, leaving you parents is not a good idea. At least, I wouldn't do that. 😳
