I am involved in an online relationship with a middle-aged man. I am 18 years old. We are promising each other to get into marriage in the future. Is this kind of relationship allowed in Islam?

Question

Islam does not allow secret links. If you are contemplating to get married, you should go through proper channels, mainly through your parents. Marriage is a serious matter. You are therefore best advised to discontinue this relationship and let the man switch to his right senses, and follow the procedure the Shariah gave us. And Allah knows best.
