no...your obeying your parents for the sake of allah, no? so it makes it a religious issue...
even if it were for the sake of your parents, your parents have aright to be obeyed anyways...just the same way you have to listen to your older siblings, etc...
and when i mean relationship i dont mean anything as drastic as sex, i mean like hanging out, watching movies, etc
avoid the smaller sins, that way inshallah you clear yourself of the larger ones...
Besides, when i was in bangladesh with my cousins they brought their girlfriends when they took my little brother and i bowling (they are good people let me assure you, one of them is getting married now actually) they asked if i had a girlfriend, maybe they assumed bengali?
just because everyone else is doing the haram, it doesn't make it right, right?
just like the portion of the worlds population being christian, Jewish etc...doesnt matter who/how many people are doing wrong, it still doesnt make it right...:thumbs_up
