Eva, sister, i think you would be better off to give up on this guy. My family is also Afghani, and let me tell you children are very close to their parents and we usually follow their wishes. If this guy did not throw off the engagement and arrange for you to meet his mother already the future is shady for the two of you. Even in the West, Afghans will not usually throw off the wishes of our families as independently as native Brits.

Misty has some good info about Islam but Afghanis have some strong culture influences apart from Islamic rulings that may apply here. He has the right in Islam to refuse engagement to someone he does not like so if he didn't do that you should be asking yourself "why"? You mentioned you are religious so please make some prayers about this issue, I'm sure Allah will guide you in the best path.
