Hindu: How Can I Convince My Christian Husband?

Rohini says: November 9, 2016

Dear Admin,
My problem is similar to her but not exactly the same. I married a Christian Guy (myself being a Hindu Iyer (Brahmin). His parents were against our marriage but we convinced them for it and our marriage was conducted with both side parents being present. My husband never forced me to get converted to Christianity and has stood by my side till date. Though his parents want that i should get converted. Me and my husband live seperately from his parents though we visit them sometimes. His father and mother call me by the name “Angel” the same being a christian though i have opposed it several times they dont seem to bother. The earlier friendly talks with them have now reduced to to the point conversations.

Now I have conceived and I am in the 5th month of pregnancy. His parents are now interfering, his mother came out of nowhere and has stationed herself at our home and doesnt seem to be in a mood to leave from here. His father threatened my father that my delivery should happen at their place (i.e at my in laws place and not at my parents place. They have started brainwashing my hubby’s mind as well it seems because when I raised the topic with him first he said that it will be at the place where we are currently living but after this episode he once said that it should take place where the boys own house is there. I made it clear to him that it would take place at my parents house only or where we are staying but not at my in laws place.

Now my worries are all about my child’s future. Can they forcefully baptize my child without my consent if my hubby agrees with them (Earlier it was he who suggested that our child would not have a religion tag and we would teach him/ her both the religions and allow the child to decide on what they want to follow).
How can I make my husband agree to my point of view. –Roshini

Hi Rohini, I totally understand your situation. I would suggest you to make your husband understand that, wherever you are you want to be comfortable, moreover happy. Ofcourse if u get an option to be at your in-laws place or your o hiwn home, not just you, any girl would choose her home. -Neha

Answer is–education, not fights!

Now you have to spend lots of time understanding core reasons why they are behaving this way.

Christianity’s core belief is—only baptized will be saved on the Judgment Day. All non-baptized Hindus (including Gandhi) and Muslims will go to hell. Get in rational discussion with your husband how come it can be logical.

Christianity’s core belief that a child just born carry sin. This sin has to be washed out by baptism. If so, ask your husband why he married to Rohini, a sinner?

Christians believe Hindus pray to idols, however they don’t realize that two pieces of wood (cross) is nothing but an idol (read). Get into an intellectual discussion with you husband for–what is an idol and what is not.

Your-in-laws’ best bet is to brain wash your husband. However you have to keep him on your side, not with fights but with proper intellectual discussion. If you are ready for it, we will give you many tips. Get back! -Admin
