Love relationships between young men and women are a gateway to evil and corruption, under the guise of which honor is violated. Islam has protected women and preserved their dignity and chastity. It has legislated the legitimate marriage for relationships between men and women, which has conditions and pillars, including the guardian. If the young man is serious, let him propose to your family and marry you lawfully. Otherwise, let each of you turn away from the other and fear Allah.
