Will you allow your children to have inter-religion Marriage?

I daliaj. I respect your views about religion and you are not a possessive mother by doing that. I appreciate your opinion. But mine varies from yours and I wont mind if my son\daughter loves a person from the other religion. For me the Happiness of my son\ daughter is much important than the religion. I cannot destroy the happiness of my Child by preventing him\her to marry a person from another religion. If they like, I wont stand as an objection in their path. It is not correct on my part if I do that unjustice to my children. I live in a secular country and I must respect the views of my children.

It's not right to deny your children something, especially about marriage. The main thing you should try is to grow up your child so that he/she always took right decisions

I do not own my children and if they are adults, they make their own decisions. As a parent you do not have the right to tell them what to do once they are adults. And be forewarned, if you did try and stop them, they may hate you for life and want no part of you an if they have children you will not see them.Is any religion worth that kind of sacrifice?

Hi, don t forget that you can t dictate your children(when they will married, are not more children , are mature), to choice what you want choice for hem. You must to help them to take right decision, i mean to marry with who they really are in love. Is a big mistake to make our children to make what we want or not to do with theirs life. You will be ok if they take decision who you want to take, but ask yourself if they will be happy. Many years ago, my mother take a decision for me, and i, because i respect she a lot i accepted. And this ruined all my life,...do you think that my mother will give me all this years back? Never; was shes mistake, but affect all my life, in bad way.

no! i will not allow my future son/daugther to marry a person hus not in our same religion,its very complicated to both of them beleving in diffrent beliefs,,for me i will not force them to break up with their girlfriends or boyfriends i'll just explain it to them so that we dont have any problem on that situation..

I won't allow my son or daughter to be tied up with a different religion. It would be difficult for them to live with different beliefs and culture in life. Most of all it can also affect the way of bringing up their future children.

As grown up persons,they are no more children and has the rights to marry anybody.I don't think they will listen to you when you are not accepting their love.The power of love is such that they will not see anything against it.It is too early for you to worry about your kids. In the advancing community today,we will have to console ourselves that atleast they get married inter-religion and not they ended up gays or lesbians.The future anticipation will be like that.Cheers!

If they are able to get along and they truly love each other I really do not see a big problem with it. Who am I to judge or object as to who my kids marry. I respect everybody's views and opinions. As long as they have a good relationship U dont see a problem.

I would not have a problem with my daughters if they were to marry someone outside of our religion. All I want for my daughters is to marry someone that they love and makes them happy. That is all thats important to me, their happiness.

frankly i will not allow my son and daughter to marry a boy or girl.. which has diffrent religion.. and my father also now allow me to marry other girl of diffrent religion.. i too don't want to marry a gril of other religion.. We live in society.. and we have to follow the rules of the society.. only.. I am proud of being JaiN.. and will marry only a jain girl. and will allow my childrem only marry to jain.. girl or boy only..

I've known a few friends who went into inter-faith, inter-cultural marriages. They are educated people and highly intellectual. They move quite along society perfectly well. Albeit one occasion , I had a heart to heart conversation with one friend. The pain brought about by different beliefs was too much to bear. Yet she has to live on with it. I say no further.

No, i would never allow my children to have inter-religion marriage

In this modern world so many changes occur, actually I am with you regarding inter religion marriage. It is not in our hands that we can force our children at present against doing so, For the sake of their happiness, our children to be with us I think we are at times forced to accept this. We can only pray to god that such feelings of inter religion marriage never occur in our childrens' mind.

I will say 'yes',you know there nothing can stop your daughter or son love someone even religion.What you thought is not important,what important is your daughter or son thought.May be they are not believe in god or something but they are know what they can do and what they can love.

Any Parent who imposes, or tries to impose, their will on an adult child, is possessive, bossy, and a poor excuse for a Parent. Children do not, and never did, belong to their Parents. They are human Beings in their Own Right, and should be treated as such. A good parent will allow their adult children to live their own lives as they see fit, without interference of Any Kind, and for Any Reason! If you were, as you present yourself, "A Modern Woman," you would be questioning marriage. Why is marriage so magnificent when 51% of all such unions do not last? A great number of Couples in this modern world, do not even consider marriage as an option. They see Marriage as not God-Given, but a man-made institution dreamed up to keep track of the Geology of the Human race. You ask me if I'm Happy? Yes I am Very happy! I raised 4 Good Boys! One married, the rest are not, and I have 4 Lovely Grandkids.

Hi daliaj!why should I object my son if he loves someone who does not belong to the same religion as me?All religion are the same though rituals may be different.All religion teaches only love and to choose good over evil.Love is more important than religion and if he loves someone not from my religion I will welcome her openheartedly.I have seen many inter-religion marriage work better than the ones where the couple belong to the same religion.

Inter-religious marriages NO, Inter-caste is OK and i encourage it. I abhor Inter -religious marraiges not because i am a religious fanatic but it poses problems. No matter how forward thinking and modern you are, inter-religious marriages have serious consequences later in married life. It takes two to marry. You may have the most broadest of outlooks, yet it needs the co operation and support of the other to make it a success. Issues related to religious rituals, festivals, religion of the kids, and general custom and tradition can complicate matters. Lets make inter-caste marriage a success before we leap the next hurdle.

hello Daliaj! I greatly respect your belief. I believe your intentions are good. And I don't think you are a possessive mother. Our actions and thinking are influenced by culture. We can't blame that, and what we do is accept it. But in my case, considering I'm from a different country and exposed to a different culture like you, I will allow my children to involve in inter-religion marriage firstly because all religions adhere to the same belief of having a Divine Creator Who teaches love to all. Religion should not be a barrier towards achieving a unified community.When I say unified, I mean that, despite the differences in religion, the respect and acceptance of each an everyone of us remain intact. True religion stems from love and grows out of love and bears the fruits of love. Marriage is a sacrament of love. Therefore, it does not violate the teachings of our religion. So long as my children and their partners understand clearly the role of religion in their lives, then they can live harmoniously. Religion should not be imposed or be forced to be accepted coz for me that is rude. Religion should be well explained and to be understood slowly but deeply by a person. By then, understanding and acceptance will spring naturally. One can then live according to his understanding of his religion, and not because it is what the society wants him to do. Thank you.

i believe that the world has changed a lot.people are becoming more broad minded rather than being orthodox.i personally won't mind any inter-religion marriage...lets lead a path for new world and thoughts and accept new peoples.lets value humans by heart and not by religion

No, I won't allow them to marry people with different religion. It's gonna be complicated for both of them if it happens.
