Inter-Religion marriage - Will it be successful?

I am not yet married but I have a Muslim friend who married someone who is a devout catholic. That's two totally different beliefs, right but you know they are very much okay and in love, and . I guess it's not really about what your partner believe in. It's a matter of understanding what he/she believes in. Mutual respect is the key to make such relationships successful.

Well, although I may have not married someone from another religion, based from what I have heard from relatives and friends- marriage of people from different religions don't really last, or one of them is converted into the other.. Since many problems will arise if you have different views in religion.

I think if one is non-religious and one is a particular religion it could work well. If one is Church of England and one is Catholic then they might want to discuss which religion their children will follow. I think that respect for the other religion would really matter.

Hey! It can happen, some people can get married even if they have a different religion. I have family friends and cousins who are Christians who are married to families who are Buddhist or even Atheist. It doesn't matter because love comes in all shapes and sizes! Though it depends too because some families can be quite strict when it comes to religion and some beliefs might contradict. Make sure you consider this before actually getting married.

A person is a Muslim is not measured by looking his community certificate or his parents are Muslim. He has to follow the teaching said in Islam. If a Muslim marries another religious person he cannot considered to be a Muslim. it is because he cant follow the teachings of Islam. If a inter religious marriage occur what will be your child religion. Majority will become an atheist. So In my opinion it is better to avoid inter religion marriage.

hey there will be no problem because my friend was a Muslim and married a Hindu and they are leading a successful life with their children.But they had got problems with their family members and they are leading separate life without contact with their family members.

From my observation and my opinion, partners who have different religion have no strong foundation for the family rather than the same, because they're not going to same church and when kids come, where they go?. They're divided in religion and maybe a cause of conflict for family relationship. Unlike those who have same religion, they're going together in worshiping God.

I know quite a few people who married outside their religion and are happy. It all depends on the individuals beliefs and tolerance and respect for other views. It is entirely possible with open minded people. I think often problems arise not between the couple but from their relatives who 'disapprove'

Love cannot differentiate religions and usually acts best where people think impossible. Inter religion marriages work as long as the couple does not listen to criticism from people, mostly relatives are the huddle in such marriages.

It can happen and it is happening. As people are becoming more educated they are breaking all the religion barriers. Like you can see in film industry there are many inter religion marriage examples. But it is not taking place in middle class families. It is slowly on the rise and it will take some time.
