Hi
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.

I will never omit my religion for marriage for anything.The reasons behind this:
1)It's a sin.
2)My parents would die.
3)I won't omit my personal beleifs,wishes,independence for marriage.
4)Marriage is not important than my religion,independence and life.
This is my POV.I don't have any problem with people omitting religion for marriage.

Of course you can. Religion is but a belief, but true love is what really matters. I don't see why 2 people of different religions can be life partners. Sometimes, you have to let aside religion aside, and do what really matters.

72 to be correct. (Though, that is mostly considered a myth or "false interpretation" at this day and age). What's the three-headed man, though?

____________________

People are free to believe and live their lives the way they want to. I am not going to condemn them for their actions, nor would I go on condoning it; it's not my place to judge someone elses life / way of life. However, if people feel that they will never marry someone out of their religion/caste/creed etc (for whatever reason it maybe) - then the person ought to be careful from the very beginning, and not mess up with someone he/she isn't going to end up being married with. Nothing is worse than playing with someone's emotions and then betraying him/her because, all of a sudden you had an urge to be "cultural" or "religious".
However, love is blind - if you do fall in love with someone who does not share the same grounds of beliefs as you do - what are you going to do. Deny the obvious, work on forgetting it, or work on letting others accept it.

The only bothersome thing about inter-religious, or inter-racial marriage, in my opinion, is whether the couples themselves get to accept and respect and live with each others beliefs and lifestyles, and of course the confrontation they are going to have to face from their families. No matter how we put it, family is an extremely important part of everyone's life - even for people who stay distant to their family. And no one can ever live a happy life after an estrangement with their family. I, for one, am staying out of this entire mess (oh, well, I am not going to get married - you all know that, right? 😆) mostly for this family-oriented matters, than I am for religious ones. 😊

For the rest - I really don't care about. I wouldn't give a damn rat's a$$ if the entire society turns their back on me for marrying someone outside of their choice[s] - not that the society is going to pay for my marriage, or rent me free houses. And I am not terribly fond of voyeurs peaking through the windows of my room.
And finally, I could care the least as to what God thinks. God, if He exists, must have better things to worry about than two of his similar creations coming together, maybe for another act of creation. After all, over one-third of the world's population is starving to death - how about God worrying about their wellbeing than some irrelevant inter-religious marriage that have no impacts on the world whatsoever. God cannot be as egoistic as many claim him to be. 😉(Maybe we would like to start a debate on what defines egoistic, what characteristics God possesses, why is He against interracial marriage, etc).
Mujhe jo kahena than woh main kahe chuki hoon. Now it's turn for others to come with their daggers at me. 😆

ya if she was worth a gazillion bucks, looked like she was made in heaven, cld make me feel i was in paradise with her, n she was ready to die fer me. 😉
srsly, i'd be happy to overlook her unfortunate choice of religion if she was worth the hassle. only condition she realize she needs to rectify her poor choice of religion asap, that's all (i like to think of it as the not-calling-someone-a-bhoola- principle if they come back home in the evening)😉😉😉

Agree with you; I wouldn't necessarily say my parents would die, because they're not like that, but they would be disappointed in me and I hate doing anything which disappoints them. I'm willing to sacrifice my own happiness if need be. I don't believe in gratifying the self above others.
And yes, it is a sin as well.

What if parents agree and are happy about it? Talking in general and not related to anyone.
