This is slightly away from the topic on hand, but relevant in someways.

Marriage is a relationship between two people, not about religion, nationality or anything else. But all these play a role. There has to be a balance of similarities and differences. People need to be opposing in some ways, have some different qualities, that way they contrast each other, they complete each other. They help each other view different perspectives in life that fulfills them. At the same time they should not be too different that there is no common ground. People need to have somethings in common to lay the foundation for marriage, and share life together.

Sometimes religion can be that common binding factor that lays a foundation, sometimes religion can be that opposing factor a different world view that shows people a new perspective on life. There is no right or wrong, depends on person to person.

The Simple question is "Can you omit religon for Marriage/True love!"

In practical life...some people say, "I wouldn't marry anyone outside my own religion" .....some others says "Whats the big deal about Inter religion marriage. Two human beings are getting married - does it matter if they have different religious beliefs" and some say"....its difficult to marry against parents/religion/soceity etc What people will say" .....where you stand! Your views and comments plz.

the answer to this question will differ from person to person..........there is no correct answer for this....I am already married but I know that I would never give up my religion for anybody/thing......I do not judge the person who does so but it is just not my cup of tea........I am a Hindu......and my religion is my identity..........i respect other religions.....I am tolerant towards other religions and I know that my religion has made me what I am ....

Well it depends on individuality.

in my POV,no i would not,i would prefer marrying my own religion,i have been brought up loving my religion so much and i would like to have a husband who could guide me more regarding our religion.deepened my knowledge and guide me to be a better muslim and a human being.(been straying away too much from my duties as a muslim due to worlds calling i.e,education,etc..totally ashamed about it)

I guess my love for my religion is greater.we cant deny at times we are put to a test regardless of us not wanting to get trap in this inter religious love stuff,our hearts just end up getting connected with each other..Howevers it up to each individual.if they can fight the odds from the society and all.

yet at times we chose the path of our religion and let go of our love as an indication hes just not the one for you,to be with you for the rest of your life.
its the hardest decision in life,i have seen some who did this decision in life and i have seen some who ended getting married to one they loved,but losing their family towards the end.their family disown them.this is the bitter fact of life,you cant change it at times.

perhaps if other individual married another person apart from their religion,its their choice,i have no right to say anything to them.they are mature enough to make right decisions in life.we are just merely strangers to their life.we walk in and out of their lifes.their beloved will be there 24/7 with them.

just my sentiments..=)

In reponse to your question-NO. That is one thing I will never ever be willing to give up. It is something that is too close to me and means too much to me for me to give up. Caste/creed never has and never will matter to me or my family as long as there is no compromise when it comes to religion.

I think we should set out objectives straght first. We should do what we think is right under the circumstances.

No matter what religion it does not matter. Marriage is for companionship.

I would prefer that we marry and still follow whatever religion we want. There is too much emphasis on religious distinctions.

Personally the more religions the better.

There are many things about most religions which I like and which I do not like. So there is no perfect religion because too much doctines and rules are mostly man made or no longer practicable due to the change.

Having said my piece I would not want to upset my parents no matter what. There are some idiots who even want their own parents to change religion.
