Im in the same boat we have selected neutral names for children. He is interested in Sikhi and does not want me to convert. His parents are both well educated doctors. We both live in the united states and we have been raised here. He has so much respect for Sikhi and researches it himself and discusses aspects of the faith that he likes with me. He is a kind gentle soul who does not believe religion should create divide amongst people instead he believes people should look for similarities and celebrate their differences. I want to marry him I have never met anyone who accepts me so fully as he does. However, my parents will not accept him. I was not raised a fool I’m also finishing up school and will be practising medicine. It is only their ego that stops them from accepting him. This is going to be hard but its worth it. -Jasneet

I wish you luck, depending on how religious and culture your parents tend to react differently. My parents are Lebanese Sunni Muslims and my parents to be frank they dgaf about which religion I marry (I tested this by asking if they were cool with me marrying a Jew, Hindu, or Buddhist testing each one to see the reactions). They said they preferred Muslims but they would rather me do what makes me happy. I have a gay relative that my family is cool with. If you ever need to talk hit me up.

Dear Nayim,
Will you be okay marrying a non-Muslim without Nikaah (that requires conversion, Shahadah)? Will your community and government okay and accepting of such secular marriages?
