    Hi,
    If both of you are committed to each other, and are serious about a future together, then I can only advise you to have your partner inform his family of your relationship. I too had the same issue with my family, and I will tell you that it will be extremely difficult for his family to accept you, as was my boyfriends family, and we are both Muslims.

    Is your partner willing to go ahead with this arranged marriage? If so, does he know how you feel about it? Your position is very difficult, especially since you say the arranged marriage is in two weeks, and I can only suggest you find out how committed he is to this relationship you share. If he is willing to go ahead with the arranged marriage, then you will need to cut ties with him now, as it will only cause further hurt and pain once he is married. Spare yourself any further pain if you find he is willing to go ahead with it. But if he isn't, then there maybe some hope for you both if you can unite both your families, and find some common ground.

    I hope I have helped in some way!

    What does he plan on doing about this arranged marriage?

    If he goes along with this arranged marriage then you have no choice but to leave him alone in all things and get a happy life and future without him.

    Sorry.

    Where is this at ? Is it a country where he is allowed two wives ?

    What will happen if he says no to the family, is he in danger, will he be homeless.

    If you tell your family that you want to marry him is your life in danager, would you be thrown out of house ?

    If he just marries the new girl, then you wasted 2 years of life, hiding a relationship, instead of trying to make it work in the open
