Dear All,
I am a christian Marthoma(protestant) girl but I am in love with a Hindu Nair boy. We both have known each other for a really long time and we both have accepted each others religious beliefs. We both believe in God and not in forms of God as portrayed by different religions. We are sure that we will not have any issues relating to religion in the future and we plan to have a religiously harmonic family and if ever we have children we will teach them the good from both religions because all religions preach good things.
We both don’t plan to convert for the sake of marriage.
I am facing issues from my family as they cant relate to my view point.
Is it possible to do a church ceremony and a hindu wedding ceremony to keep parents happy and register the marriage under Special Marriages act in India?
I have seen videos of couples getting married in both ways. I would like to know how that was possible. Thanks for your help in advance -Ria

Dear Ria, this is what we just said to Krystal “we loved your answers. This shows you carry high moral principles and ideals. This is the way it should be and we admire it. This is a way to ever lasting married life” and is 100% applicable to you. We wish Krystal and you will have success in achieving your goals and do not succumb to man-made religions.
To your direct question, our answer is–go get married by the Special Marriage Act. In India, the first marriage counts. After that, you can have as many marriages as you please. You do not need to convert. If a mandir or church asks for conversion, just find another pandit or priest. For right price, you will find pandit and priest to follow your noble wishes.
Best way to learn is to teach. Why don’t you guide Krystal and you will learn immensely. In above advise we have not touch on practicality of life. Lets stay connected. Thanks.
