Facing emotional blackmail from parents

I'm 28 years old and facing a lot of problems for an inter caste marriage. I want to get married to a man of 30 years who belongs to a different caste. Both of us are well educated and work in IT sector. My parents are completely against it only because of caste. We have been trying to convince them from more than 2 years but even till date, they are not ready to get us married, instead my mom is threatening me that she would die if I go away and live my life. Many of my family members and close friends have tried to talk to my parents but they are very stubborn.

Please suggest on how to move further.. how do I face the emotional blackmail from my parents

Your mother may threaten you with suicide and other close relatives may even warn you about honor killing, whereas it is your life hence you can take a considered decision  about this.

You are a matured person and having independent source of income to sustain your expenses and to live your own life without depending on others, hence you may better go ahead with your proposal to marry your boy friend and if necessary you may seek police protection if there persists any danger to your lives.

Well since you are quite a major to decide your personal matters you have legal right to do so, however to have regards for parental desires is just social. religious and or  emotional. If you feel any threat of involvement at the emotional blackmail by your parents , simply drop a complaint to Police station disclaiming the responsibility and also informing them about your legal rights being infringed by your parents. That will help you out from any future consequences.
