Attending an engagement

Q: I am invited to my 1st cousins engagement. I am the only female in niqaab and I am the only person in my family who is in a Darul Uloom. I don't know if I shouldn't go because I don't want to break the law of Allah Ta'ala or must I go to keep family ties. If I don't go then my family will get really upset with me but doesn't the command of Allah Ta'ala come first?

Moving to a non-Muslim country to study

Q: I live in a Muslim country. Can I move to Italy which is a non-Muslim country to acquire an mbbs degree and practice medicine? It is neccessary to state that this mbbs degree and practicing medicine is also possible in my Muslim country. I just want to move there due to the extra facilities. So is it permissible to move to Italy knowing that haraam is freely available there?
