If you (a Hindu/Jain/Sikh/Buddhist) have any dating or marriage/divorce experience with a Jew, please share your experience here. Please specify any expectations of Bris for your children. Keep in mind the objective……to help other young adults considering such relationships.
Any comment on information on Hindu-Jew page of this web site?

Hindu-Jew Marriage situation. Found this Forum very interesting. In my Opinion, Observation or an Experience, we as Parents, are usually left with no options, but to Yield or Concede to our Children’s Choices, they have Chosen. I feel as a Parent, in such situations of Inter-Faith Marriages, the Children are looking at Today, aware of but not Concerned about Tomorrow, for example Children after Marriage. One Faith or the Parents, Grand Parents override the Decisions, made by the Children before the Marriage. That’s where The Conflict begins & hence forth a very high percentage Divorce, 70% rate. Knowing the Figures & Facts before, will bring more Happiness & Prosperity later.

Great thoughts, though not a real life experience.
You made a great point, “view their religion not as a faith, but as a culture”, if it is just as a culture, that is easy to mix. Once one side start doing for “religious” reason, then it could create conflicts.
One has to know that it is for religious reason, even a Jew keep insisting it is cultural, if a Hindu-Jew marriage include:
Ketubia marriage contract including Moses and Israelites
Hebrew names for childen
Bris ceremony on 8th day
Circumcision
Sabbath time
Bar Mitzvah
