Section 7.5: I Am a Jain Girl and Love a Muslim

Sweta says:

I am a Jain girl and I love a Muslim boy from the past 8 years. He also loves me a lot and can do anything for me. We have decided to tell my parents about our relationship after one or two years. He always says that he is with me, whatever be the situation. 

At present, the biggest issue for me is “non-veg.” I am not able to even think about that but he says that his family and even he never will force me to do this and he promises me that non-veg will never enter in our home.

I have complete trust in him. I know, in my future life with him, he will never put any boundaries on me as he always encourages me to achieve my goals and to do the things that I like. I feel so comfortable with him and hope things will be the same in future also.

I know it is a bit difficult to adjust in a Muslim family for us but do you think that if you marry a Hindu boy and he doesn’t love you then it will be easy for you? There is no guarantee about future. I strongly believe a line “whatever is written in our destiny, we have to face it.”

Eight years is not a short period. You will never be able to give his place in your heart to anyone. Even if you marry someone when you are in love with someone else, it really spoils three lives and it is totally unfair with new guy who thinks that you are his wife but you only love your boyfriend in your heart.

According to me “nothing is greater than love.” Definitely one has to adjust a lot but if you both try to understand each other then everything will become easy and then religion doesn’t matter. —Sweta
