At 23 years of age your daughter is an adult and is mature enough to make her own decisions. If she is getting violent then you are probably not dealing with it the right way. Have you met the boy in question? What does he do n what about his family?Is the only problem you have with him is with him belonging to a lower caste? If yes, then that in my opinion is not a reason big enough to deny your child of her happiness just for your own prestige. I consider it to be very selfish. However if u feel that the boy is incompetent in other aspects such as his family/educational background, then you need to be very patient while explaining to your daughter about the complexities this relationship might bring in the future. Remember, she's not a kid anymore, she needs right reasoning and adult friendly conversation instead of being dictated what to do. And no, no drug would help. Good luck!

Hi,

Your daughter is a mature adult. At this age sexual attraction is there. Whatever you explain,nothing will happen. The attraction will remain. If she finds better future with that boy and feel happy,let the relationship convert in marraige. The world has gone far ahead. Why are you remain in castism era? Be broad minded and broad hearted. There is no medicine for her to create distraction from her boyfriend. You both parents remain at ease. Call her boyfriend at home. Talk with his parents and if boy and his family are eager for relationship, go ahead. You may be more happy accepting the relationship. Your happiness remains with your daughter's happiness. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
