Hello,
My name is priya, I’m a Hindu girl. I’m in a relationship with a person who is CSI. It’s been 4 years since our relationship started.
From the beginning I know I can’t be with him because he is Christian moreover his father is a priest. I never forced him to marry me but I can’t leave him. I’m ready to convert my religion. And I truly believe in Christianity. He don’t force me to convert may be he knows that it will not work because of his family. I can understand the situation but is there any way to solve this? I really love him and his family I don’t want them to be in a problem because of me. But still I want to be a part of them. Please help me with my situation. -Priya

I am a Hindu girl about to marry a Christian boy. For the past five years religion has not been an issue, but as the wedding date is approaching, more and more issues have been coming up. Recently his parents have been preaching Christianity more heavily and he insists on having a prayer during the reception before dismissing guests to eat dinner. We are having a Hindu ceremony, a Christian ceremony and a separate reception in order to honor both religions. As it is I am uncomfortable with the prayer at his parent’s home. How am I to be okay about a prayer on my big day?? More importantly, he says I am not allowed to have an idol of Lord Ganesha at the Hindu wedding because that means “idol worship” which is against the Christianity doctrine…Ganesh-ji is the remover of obstacles and a symbol of an auspicious start to a big chapter in our lives. I have explained to him that the idol will just be placed there; there is no bowing down by him or his family or any worshiping. But he continues to insist it is nothing short of idol worship. SOS..I need help on this one

Whst should I do? I’m hindu 33 and my girlfriend 27 is Catholic. We are in a relationship from over a year and truly love each other. However both our parents are strictly against this and forcing us not to go ahead with this. We both and specially my girlfriend don’t want to marry until her parents are agreed as she loves them too is concerned about them. Her elder sister too is in love with a hindu guy and recently told her parents about it. She’s 32 and still her parents are not accepting her choice and asking her to find some other catholic guy. My girlfriend is worried that if her parents are not accepting her sister’s relationship although it’s late for her sister then how will they accept me. They’re the only 2 daughters and both are in love with non catholic guys so I too can understand her parent’s situation as in India, society is more important for anyone. On the other side my parents are also adamant and not ready to change their mind. They hv asked me to take time and cut the relationship with my girlfriend but I don’t want to do that. I am not able to find any solution to this situation and don’t know what I should do. Its been only 3 months since we revealed this to our parents. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,
We are still struggling to convince our parents. My parents have still not agreed and they’re stuck to only one point. “A catholic girl cannot step into my house. Her way of living is different. Society will question us why we allowed our son to do this.”
My mother is like, if you marry her against my wish then something will happen to me.
They haven’t met her yet. Just seen on Facebook pics and they think she’s not beautiful as well.
I know she’s an average looking girl but she’s pure at heart and that’s what important for me. I have told this to my parents but still no change in them.
On the other side, her elder sister who was in love with a hindu boy got recently married. Atleast in her case the boys family was in favour so it was easy. Her parent’s agreed for her older sister on a condition that V(my girlfriend) will have to marry in catholic. She didn’t say anything at that time coz she didn’t want her sister’s wedding in trouble. Vicki’s sister is in our favour and she has said she will do everything to unite us. However I’m not sure how much her parents will listen to her elder sister. They’re still unhappy with her elder sisters decision but they agreed only because of her age. Not sure if they’ll agree for Vicki.
Not sure how we should proceed further.
Just fyi, no one in my community have done inter religion marriage hence i don’t have any examples to show my parents. I’m their only son hence it’s difficult for them to accept that I’ve done something like this. My dad is thinking of disowning me. I have 3 elder sisters. All living abroad and they too are not supporting me.
I’m all alone against my own people.

Lots of changes she has done.. Doordarshan she had many people selected from christian community. N AIR too Usually they play three Hindu songs, two Muslim n two christian songs earlier.but during her regime most of the songs were christian. Plus I heard that she used akashvani to telecast christian preachings from 5.30 or so. During live programs with audience interaction, people from christian community used radio to preach. I was so shocked. Made us study European thoughts n only about churches in Indian history books if she had given equal weightage to African n Australian or American things could be acceptable. This lady was a pacca Vatican ambassador. Later when I went to a khadi shop to get slippers I could see a lot of christian wordings I was confusedbut didn”t see the reason to be christian Sonia led government. Later putting everything together, I assumed she is trying to christianise India. Rajasekar Reddy for Andhra, umman chandy for Kerala. My god Congress would have swallowed India”s culture if let for one more term. I definitely believe she was behind Nepal in becoming secular from Hindu country. Monarchy to democracy need not be accompanied with Hindu to secular.. She is responsible for the growth of missionaries in Nepal who were successful in bringing Nepal from being a Hindu country to secular. Did her job perfectly assigned to by Romebut they didn”t know the power of Hindu gods..
Hi Priya,
We got to know the problem to solve it. What is the problem? You are ready to do all that is possible so there is thing to solve on your side. Ask the one who has problem.
Why he said “he knows that it will not work because of his family”? Write down 3 main points that he raised and we can help solve them.
Priya, one side line question. What do you think Madhu did it right or wrong? Read it here https://interfaithshaadi.org/?p=13247 and let us know.
Priya its better to marry in your own religion and caste. I too loved a christian guy and wanted to marry him but he cheated on me and made me fool still now i am in a trauma. Its difficult for me to forget his betrayal. he left me for his parents and made me fool by saying that he will marry me. I hope you would learn from my situation.Its better to marry in your own religion.
I changed completely myself for him but all was useless for him at last he blamed everything on me that i was after him he never loved me. he said that i used to force him for going out with me i used to force him to spend time with me everything he blamed on me. he never loved me he just simply made fun of me and my love. I even begged down on his feet many times to marry me and not to leave me but all was in vain. We still work in same company and its very difficult for me to bear him for 8 hrs. And now he is behaving so nicely with me as if there was nothing between us but I dont talk much to him. christians will always be in their family they will not accept you. Its better for you to leave your relation with that guy. Rest is your decision priya.
Dear Madhu,
We feel your pain. You cannot change others but you have to be strong now. Go get married to someone in your own faith and start living a new life.
Let us remind you what Abida said on this site earlier. “Innocent and emotional girls sometimes get trapped by whosoever appears to respect them, though this “respect” is false. There are so many anti social elements in the society who are disguised as gentlemen but are conspirator inside.”
Thank you for coming to this site to help other innocent girls.
