A young lady has been dating her boyfriend for eight years. They did their introduction last year and planned to marry this year. However, her boyfriend’s mother is very sick with a kidney problem. The young lady helps take care of her at the hospital, while the family raises money for her treatment.
Last week, the doctor found that the young lady's kidney matches her future mother-in-law's. Her boyfriend's family suggested that if she donates her kidney, the money they were saving for treatment could be used for the wedding instead. They also promised to give the couple a house after the marriage.
The young lady told her family about this, and they are against it. Her mother is especially worried and has been crying, saying she doesn't want her daughter to go through with the donation. The young lady wants to marry and have a beautiful wedding but is torn because of her family's concerns.
The future mother-in-law's youngest child, who is 25 years old and still in school, also has a matching kidney. But the family prefers the young lady to donate hers. Her boyfriend has been begging her to do it and promised to stop cheating if she agrees.
The young lady is looking for advice without insults. She loves her boyfriend and his mother but is also worried about her family's concerns. What should she do?
This is a very difficult decision. She needs to think carefully about her health, her family’s concerns, and her future. It might help to talk to a doctor and get professional advice before making a decision.
