dear sandeep,
i myself am in love with a muslim girl. i am still a student and i realise that i don’t have the appropriate experience or wisdom to be giving advice. i myself am confused as to how to approach her family with the proposition of an inter-faith marriage.
but even in hinduism, it is believed that there is one true god (brahma samaj)… there is always one true god. how you worship, how you believe, is completely up to you. i believe in god, though i don’t believe in religion. being a hindu, i have had beef. i don’t see anything wrong with it.
so, my advice to you is…. approach her parents as politely as possible. tell them what you want to do. tell them that you are marrying her for growing old with her, not for praying with her. after this, if they accept you, wel and good. but if they don’t, please walk away… beacuse that’s what i’m planning to do. all the best man, take care.. -Vikram

Muslim: Religion doesn’t matter for me
Hi Vikram,
Nice to see your comments.
I belong to originally from Indonesia and married with a Hindu Punjabi boy as per our choice and selection, as we were associated in a company for years. Now settled in India with him. I find myself very respectable and happy, not to face any kind of restrictions, discrimination and all sorts of liberties to enjoy. In Islam women are subject to various attrocities, discrimination in movement, education, driving, job etc.
We have same sentiments like to grow old together and raise our family on humanitarian values.
Please get yourself financially independent first and if possible let your GF should also get a job so that you both have strong footing to take a decision.
Vikram,
You made an interesting statement, “Marrying her for growing old with her, not for praying with her”, we thought it is “Pray to gather stay to gather”. You statement is true for college dating, however after getting married and having children, all these will change.
You said you are Hindu but not a Hindu. This is a beauty of Hinduism that you have flexibilities. Remember that Islam is totally different. Islam is over all other things.
Try with her parents and let us know how it goes. Protect yourself not to come back with broken bones!
Instead of rushing, why not to educate her? After 2-3 years, you will be financially independent and thus could make more rational and independent decision that both wish to do (parenteral pressure will be less then).
Read all that we have recommended. Ask her if she believes in Allah, krishna, Jesus, Buddha? What Muhammad means to her over many other apostles? Does she believe in the Judgment Day? Islam teaches her not to marry Hindus and before Nikaah convert the Hindu, are you ready for a fake-conversion?
