Catholics and Marthomite are both strict or rigid faiths. A Catholic church will not let you have marriage there unless your husband gives in writing that children will be Catholic only. Likewise the Marthoma church also put severe restrictions. So you have to decide which one of two is weak to submit to others religious fanatic thinking. The most rigid and intolerant will win.
Jesus taught us to – love thy neighbors, however these churches are teaching to intolerate other Christians. They are creating divisions between Jesus lovers. These churches are not for God or Jesus, but for their selfish promotion and survival. We recommend you to follow Jesus but not church.
What your bf is asking you to do? Is he truly loves you? if yes, ask him to get married by a court marriage and dump churches.
Why don’t you go visit a Catholic church and later to a Marthoma church and ask them questions for how could you marry. Let us know what you learned. -admin

Hi mary,
Curious to know how this went.In a similar situation. And insights will be really helpful
Thanks
Dear AB,
Are you in relationship with Marthomite? Are you a church goer; how about him? How much two churches going to play role in your wedding and married life? Get back to us and we can help. Best wishes.
Hi,
Thanks for the response. In my case the roles are reversed. I am a marthomite boy getting married to a non practicing Catholic girl. I am a church goer (also a son a marthoma priest which makes things more complicated.) My partner is not a church goer. The church will play a role in my life but not in hers. I don’t have any intention of forcing my faith or practices on her. I believe faith to be an individual choice and journey. In order to balance our differing beliefs we intend to have a non religious court marriage and a marthoma wedding.
A few questions I had: how difficult is it for her to get the required documents from her Catholic church. Considering the fact that she does not go to church. She has her baptism certificate.
Also how difficult is it to have a court marriage first and then have a church wedding. Will marthoma churches allow a church wedding after a court wedding.
P. S this is a great service you guys are providing. Let me know if I can be of any help to this community.
