The story is as follows. Parents of one party aren't aware of the relationships. They weren't told as they have a strong ethnic/racial prejudice against the nationality of their child spouse. How badly will this affect the sponsorship? Other party's parents know about the relationships and are ok with them.
The parents live far away from Canada, while the spouse and a sponsor live in Canada, if this matters.
