Is the word 'permit' correctly used in this sentence?

I’ll always love you even if the world won’t permit this kind of love. 
  

Top answer

I’ll always love you even if the world doesn't permit this kind of love. One future tense is enough in your sentence. The phrasing ' world won’t permit ' seems a bit strong to me.

  • I’ll always love you even if the world doesn't permit this kind of love.
  • One future tense is enough in your sentence.
  • The phrasing ' world won’t permit ' seems a bit strong to me.
  • Perhaps, 'disapprove of' would be more appropriate.
