Romeo and Juliet knew without a doubt they were not to have anything to do with one another because of the tension in the relationship between their families. I don't think love was necessarily forbidden. Had Romeo and Juliet fallen in love with two different people their families had no problems with, they would have been set. Their families would have been thrilled to throw them a wedding and unite them in love. It was more the issue with family feuds between each other. They refused to set aside their differences for the happiness of their kids. Though it was selfish, again it had nothing to do with them being in love. It had to do with them being in love with the wrong person in their parents' eyes.
