Would you ignore your parents in this situation?

Ehh, tbh the only thing polish about her is the hard to spell surname
Besides, why wouldn't he??? Aren't you always rambling on about integrating?
You can still integrate but also avoid some things your parents don't approve of that would be impossible to hide.
Integration is for us, not our parents. Once they all go back to Somalia to retire is when things will really change.
Anyways Somalis like your friend's parents are in the tiny minority. There are Somali women in their 50s who drink. I've seen it with my own eyes.

Whether he will divorce her or not is besides the point and all speculation. She could become a sheikhad and give him 5 NBA players. Imho, within means, parents should only be able to give advice and not the final call.

His parents want his kids to be Muslims. Imagine telling your kids that mommy is going to hell for eternity.
The parents shouldn't have the final say, but they disapprove of his marriage for good reasons. Don't forget that his girlfriend will become a part of the family so that it will affect everyone.

I agree that they have good reasons to disapprove, but they don't have the right to fall out with their son over it.

His parents are thinking about his future, they know what's good for him. He should listen to his parents and do as they tell him.

Definitely more than angry, as for how bad? Untested waters, so nothing is off the table
I said if he was willing to then he should consider the possibility that his family might disown him, no need to get angry at me lol
Where were they when he had a Polish gf to begin with? Some parents set themselves up for situations like this.
As for your q, my advice is don't get involved. Imagine he heeds your counsel and years later things fall apart? You'll be putting yourself in blame's way. Not to mention it's terrible advice.

Parents are meant to be guides. They're not meant to be vicariously living through their children with every big decision of their lives by my waying or the highwaying them about it. At some point you have to carve your own path, or they'll forever be attempting to carve it for you, which is a path that comes with a continued lack of respect for any idea that isn't theirs btw.
You shouldn't pull any 'trigger', bc frankly its none of your damn business either.

I wouldn't listen to my parents either but that's because they're probably going to say no to all my choices
Tell ur friend to follow his heart, if that means having ur family cancel u then so be it
Terrible advise.
