You are right Sir! Unless the parents are blind, deaf, dumb and indifferent,

they CANNOT miss the signals given out by their wards.

No point in blaming them after blocking all the other options except running away!

I have a doubt. What is the definition of 'elope'?

Boy or girl fall in love, find a mate outside their community, religion, state and status (social and financial) inform their parents of their intent to wed, but not approved by their parents. They walk out and marry. This, in my opinion, cannot be called eloping.

Boy and girl in love, do not inform the parents (out of fear or rejection) and run away without warning, to marry or live-in; this is 'elope'.

I have come across many cases of the first type; but the second type only from media.
