I fell in love with a 30 year old woman
\*Reposting because I think I put it in the wrong thing\*
Salam Alaikum everyone,
I am a 25 year old medical student going to school in the Caribbeans. While I was here I was minding my own damn business keeping my head down for the time that I have been here so far and all of a sudden this woman appears in my life. We started talking for a while and we get to know each other and I think nothing of it. A mutual friend informed me of her feelings for me and I since then I have been trying to converse with her in the correct way because I don’t want to do this wrong. I have briefly spoken to her parents and decided to soft launch it to my mother and told a little bit about her including the fact that she is 30. My mother immediately shot it down saying “it’s not a match”. I am distraught as I love this girl so much and she does make me so happy and I just want to do things right and I don’t understand why it’s such a bad thing. I have done istikhaara and she is still in my life. I don’t understand. I was minding my own business not trying to talk to any females and the minute Allah brings one into my life I am now being told this won’t work because of her age.
Our prophet PBUH married someone who was older than him and he loved her so much. I need advice on what would be the right thing to do. And also what is the right way to think about it. I’d appreciate any help you can give.
