Please Help!!....Confused

Thing is - changing your religion if you truly believe in it is like lying and truly changing the core of your existance. I wouldn't want a partner to convert into my religion if he did not believe - that would be lying. Which is why this couple might have a problem.

better yet, forget each other. that is only the most feasible thing that could happen.

I know that and you do not teach because I am a Hindu. The muslim one must do the sacrifice and if he does not want the teachings of Hindu, then it is up to him...

Is it worth sticking to such families of the type your poor aunt had? At the end of the day no family comes to your rescue when you need them as everyone has to carry their own burden. Umpteen number of couples have settled abroad and the families are nowhere in sight when they need them even if the family has approved of their choice. I would still feel that your friends should carry on with their relationship and if their parents truly love them they will accept them albeit later

I think you just got me wrong. I know what is Hinduism and their beliefs. I am an Indian and lot of Hindus are there around us. What I said is most of the Hindus are practicing in the way what they see as a tradition seen in the society and from parents. Only few are going with Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas etc. Regarding marriage I explained the stance of Islam on marriage, There are some Muslims marrying non-Muslims, but Islam does not permit a Muslim to marry a non-Muslim, exceptions I mentioned in last comment. I agree Some Hindus got no problems with marrying Muslims, but for a believing Muslim it is not allowed, unless he/she come to the fold of Islam. Quran 2:221:- "And do not marry polytheistic women until they believe. And a believing slave woman is better than a polytheist, even though she might please you. And do not marry polytheistic men [to your women] until they believe. And a believing slave is better than a polytheist, even though he might please you. Those invite [you] to the Fire(hell), but Allah invites to Paradise and to forgiveness, by His permission. And He makes clear His verses to the people that perhaps they may remember."

true....its not the case with all HIndus...there are certain Hindu families that accept such marriages....my colony has a Hindu couple that have married off their daughter to a Muslim Guy...but in the Guy's case the family consists of jus his mother and him.....and both of them are living happily.... So thats not the case with all the Hindus....but majority of them would allow their daughters into a Muslim Family as a Bride...or accept a Muslim Girl as a Bride.... Thats the Reality!!

Shes around 24 and same is the guys age....we actually are college mates....studied in the same class....

I guess they are old and mature enough to know the magnitude of the possible consequece and to judge how the future will be. Truth is that unfortunately, when there are two cultures, it is very hard to work around those cultural differences all the time One has to be very intelligent and very ready to work hard and sacrifice. And sometimes give up on things which one might not be ready to.

Yea!!...the girl being a Muslim...her family is strict about marriages within there own religion...and has gr8 bonding with her family...the guy on the other hand has not settled as such but earns....and guess there will be difficulty from his side to relating to their marriage proposal.... So definitely its a matter of concern..!!...shes one of my Best Buddies!!...

Then it is a problem. Actually this has always been a problem. But if they are really committed, they can think of marrying against their families' wishes. I do not really like this idea, but it is the last resort. But before that, I would like the boy to get settled a little more, so that he can really take care of your friend. In the mean time try talking some sense in both the families. This religious difference is not really worth it. I wonder why people cannot change with time. Without change there can never be progress.

Both of them(probably the guy too) are gr8ly associated with there families and such step of registrar marriage would not be in there distant dreams too....so this option is ruled out.... I advised them to part away from each other rather than getting even more hurt in future its better to take the step this time itself when you know the wounds when fresh take greater time to heal and pain a lot...so for recovering you need to give some time for yourself.... But on the other hand think will that be so easy for the two to do so....its about LOVE...there feelings for each other.... So dont know!!!....confused!!

"It is up to them if they are going to use their Brain or Heart" If i'm going to stand in the guy's shoes, I would definitely follow my heart not my head... Sometimes problems are only in our head anyway!!!!!

Seriously...Nothing Apt or Clear and Obvious can be inferred...

Well Friends....Both of them love each other from the bottom of their hearts but also they wont go against their religion...thats for sure....they know and have belief that going against family specifically mom and dad makes no sense and would ultimately lead to sufferings in one or the other way....Being Practical...they know their future leads them to nowhere.....so the only option in front of them is to part away from each other...as being a Hindu and Muslim family...none of them will ever have a consent for their marriage.....so the problem is whether to part now itself or let the things go ahead as they are going and wait for the time to decide the end of their togetherness.... Which would be feasible....realizing the fact that wounds require time to heal....i m of the opinion that they should part now rather than leaving for the destiny to decide...as that would provide them the necessary recovery time as well think about their life and options ahead....
