@AnkitaJain231,

This is your cousin's job, and not your own. Be supportive, of course, but it is ultimately her life and her happiness which are at stake.

She can consider whether an educational argument should be made, e. g. that she needs to finish studies or work for a while in order to round out her education. She should consider which sort of appeal would speak best to her parents.

@AnkitaJain231,

This sounds like a cultural difference, am I right?

Someone who moves between cultures has to balance the connections to their family and expectations from their traditional culture with the needs and reality of their new culture. This is not always easy.

I think it helps to realize that this is what is happening, and try to help your family understand as well.
