Navigating Interreligious Relationships: A Guide to Understanding and Reconciliation

Question
Hi,
I am a muslim boy. I work for a Global MNC.I have been in a relationship with a hindu girl for the pas three and a half years. Both of us love each other and want to spend the rest of our lives together. I want to marry her but her parents do not agree to our relatrionship. I am 22 years old and she is 24. I love her more than anything and we have been in a steady relationship for a long time. I want to make her parents understand how much we love each other and want to convince them for our marriage. I dont know how to go about it as her parents are very particular against our relationship. I have never talked to her parents though. Please tell me what to do. I will be broken if I loose her.

Answer
Your question is difficult in a culture of arranged marriage and mixed religions. If her parents do not support your wish to marry, you may consider going off together although this would require more love and courage than the two of you may possess.

You could also both convert to Christianity to have a strong spiritual foundation for your love and courage. For this go to http://www.wbschool.org
