Hi Veer-Zara,
I couldnt stop myself from writing all this after I read your post. I am a Hindu and I liked or rather loved some1 who was a muslim. I had known him from high school, he moved to another country and like 2 years ago he contacted me, and our old relationship started again. Both of us aren't teenagers anymore, we hold college degree, with very good jobs. When we saw each other again, we forgot our religion and families, we started even planning our marriage and families..
Then after sometime we realised it's not possible..I mean its possible..but I have to choose between him and my own family. I couldnt even dare to ask my parents. He was ready to ask my parents and his parents, I stopped him. Both of us thought about our families.
I could have stayed with him...But that would have been unfair to my parents..because of my happiness I couldnt forget what they did for; they gave me life, education. And in return I couldnt give them sorrow and a bad name in the society.
I am glad both of us understood each other so well. When we were chatting; I would always say to him; if you were a hindu, I would marry you. And he would say the same thing. Our friends think that its not right, religion shoudnt be a barrier in love.. but we told them love also doesnt create barriers. Love brings people closer. For our love we wouldnt want to create drifts between our parents.
So we are still friends. I wished him all the best for his future wherever he is. And he did the same for me. I wish life doesnt cross our paths again.
I wrote all that just to pour my heart out, I am not telling you to do the same thing. If your parents agree, then go for it girl..but dnt change your religion or let your boyfriend change his religion.
ok best of luck.
Firstly very well said, and i totally agree with u.
I think u should think abt your parents and whatever u do plz don't run away with him b/c in each and every phase of our lives our parents are the ones who stand by our side and give us support, they give us practically everything in life, your parents would always think for your best and it won't be easy for them to accept that their daughter is in love with some1 of a different religion, and according to Islam a girl is not allowed to marry some with a different religion.
About him being ready to convert, it is really sweet of him and shows how much he loves u but then u should also consider his family and parents if he converts and your parents agree to get u married, still wont the boy's parents be upset abt it.
In either cases, it is the parents who will suffer, you 2 will live happily but your parents would have to face the consequences and it would even affect your siblings.
Please think abt your parents and then take a decision .
