Marriage should be a lifelong relationship and thank God you are considering your options. May I advise you check the relationship first before thinking of what your parents will say.
1.. Are you emotionally and psychologically ready for the peculiar challenges associated with inter tribal marriages?
2.. If you love him enough; are you sure his love is deep enough?
3.. what drives him? I mean his values as per family, money , responsibilities of a man etc
4... What does he really think about polygamy, marital infidelity and how to treat a woman?
5... How does he see women that work et all?
Do not sacrifice a possible loving marriage on the small excuse of parental consent. If you work out your relationship, you can get your parents on board the marriage and moreover it will be a good acid test on the commitment of the man. If he really loves you he will persist in looking for a way to win your mom over.
I wish you all the best in ur decision.
