She is absolutely right in her own way, because parents should always come first. The parents took their whole life in bringing up the child, if they want some thing from their child...a little bit of happiness and she is ready to do that by sacrificing her own choice, what is the problem. That is very brave indeed on her part and her never dying love for her parents. I appreciate such fearless and devoted spirit. having such a daughter is miracle these days in India, having such cultural and societal value is indeed praiseworthy. So my dear friend, please dont feel disheartened for what she did. She was absolute right in her act.
Now about the boy, he should feel proud of having such a girl as her friend for life, what not if he could not marry her. they both can certainly remain as good friends for life.
However, if he can pursue her and her parents and make them understand his feelings with out any fight or animosity, then it is well and good, they both can be togather in that sense. the boy should muster enough courage to talk with his own parents and convince them for marrying the girl of his choice before asking them to talk to the girl's parents. That will be an ideal situation. if he fails in convincing his parents, then he dont have any authority to feel bad about what the girl did.
