Absolutely not. I mean think about it . After you run off with each other into the sun set and the initial lust (because true love comes after marriage) wears off and you start to raise a family, you will want your kids and his family to get to know your family. Now since you burned all the bridges , the other family will never respect you and your partner won’t either. in fact you will feel emotional when you see your partners’ family coming to visit but you yours don’t come visit because you decided to follow your kaacsi instead of your head remember? you will start to realize what a mistake you made and life will be tough for you.
there is no Pros of going it without a family.Now with family support things will go much smoother and you will have a dignity.
Oh come on you are acting like we are Pakistanis, I have never seen Somalis outcasted from their families because they married someone they didn't like. you are being very dramatic sis.
