Confused..
I am a second year student of a University. My family is very needy and I have been bearing my own expenses since 6th Grade. I dropped out of school soon after. I went abroad to make some money but I returned after having failed. We fell into extreme debt. I resumed my education and disappointed my parents after getting into the university i am now in. Now, one of my rich maternal uncles wants me to marry his daughter and has promised to bear my expenses as well as give me a handsome amount of cash. My parents are very interested and so on one side I have my education and on the other my family obligation. What should I do? I am very confused please help me.

first, i feel for you. but do remember it's your life, not there's, are you gonna spend it trying to make others happy or make yourself happy?

I'm sorry you're in such a bad situation. My advice would be to complete your education - you have got this far, it would be a shame to throw it all away now. You'll find that when you've completed your course you'll be better qualified to do many jobs that pay quite well. It'll take a while, but you will find a job that you enjoy doing that will provide for you and your family. On the other hand, if you accepted your uncle's offer, you might end up very unhappy - it doesn't sound that you know this girl very well, and you may not get along. Furthermore, you must consider the girl's feelings amoungst all of this (I know it is difficult when you have so much to contend with yourself!) - how would she feel if she was pretty much "sold" to a guy?
I hope everything works out. Good luck whatever happens!

It is totally unacceptable to marry just for the sake of security. You might end up being unhappy for the rest of your life. You should talk to your parents and ask them not to pressure you to get married before you graduate. Regarding your uncle's proposal, you might want to meet this girl and see if there is any chance that you might like her. Perhaps it might work out as many arranged marriages do work out well. Hope I helped. :)
