What are your views on what one author wrote…”Therefore, technically speaking, after conversion to Islam or Christian faith has been performed, the Hindu ceremony is a totally superfluous oxymoron – because it is a ‘Muslim to Muslim’ or ‘Christian to Christian’ wedding performed by a Hindu priest! In such a wedding, do celebrating Hindus know what they are celebrating for?” Is this really a wedding of a Hindu? How would you feel if you are part of such a wedding?
If you are a Muslim woman or plan to be a Muslim woman for sake of someone’s love, think twice before you jump into Hell or continue to live in Hell. (via Santosh Bhatt’s Blog)

In my opinion, any religious wedding ceremony that is performed the last should have the final say, ironically a bit like Islam’s claim itself.
In case of a Hindu marrying a non-Hindu, the Arya Samaj priests first perform a ‘Shuddhi’ ritual for the non-Hindu to become a Hindu and subsequently the wedding ceremony is performed. This should take care of the non-Hindu’s becoming a Hindu.
From the Hindu perspective – if the Hindu has been converted to an Abrahamic in an earlier ceremony, let alone fatwa against apostasy, he/she too can be converted back to being a Hindu. But by the above logic of ‘last is final’ this will only be meaningful if the Hindu wedding is the final one.
In the mentioned scenario of a Hindu marrying an Abrahamic, the modern (spelled unaware) Hindu unfortunately is more likely to think of this as not a strategic but a logistic issue.
