In the prologue, we learn that the two houses have a long standing feud between them. The feud is "ancient", and the reasons have likely long been forgotten.... they merely continue. Romeo and Juliet are not permitted to be together based upon the hatred of their families..... they dislike each other based upon old family grudges...... it's become a tradition.
