My girlfriend is a Christian and I am a Hindu Brahmin and we are dating from quite a few years. We want to get married and be together but she believes that for the success of the marriage we both have to be on one platform (faith) which has to be her’s only and hence has a condition that I should know her God and be baptised for us to be together. I have been explaining to her about equality and and that we both should support each other in our respective faiths but she isn’t ready to accept that and says that this marriage can happen only if I move to her side of the faith. I have also explained her the issues that this can cause within me and my family. Eventually we have concluded that this marriage cannot happen because she wants me to leave my faith and she is not ready to accept a neutral ground. I don’t know how to make her change her mind.

Hello Prateek,
You are on a right track. Why is she saying there is only one God and that is mine? This is illogical. She is brain washed by her church. Ask her that you will accept Jesus but not the church (meaning not baptised). Explain her all about what we have written in our book Interfaith Marriage: Share and Respect with Equality. We are sure she will realize her mistake and will come to terms. Let us know how it goes.
