I don't think inter-racial marriages should be considered wrong but if it hinders the family relationships and communication between them then it becomes a issue. As for giving up someone you love from another race because your family doesn't accept or has difficulties with inter-racial marriages, well if you knew that from the start this would be the case then you shouldn't have got involved with someone from another race to begin with if you saw the potential dilemma you'd eventually fall in.

Coming back to the topic, personally, to me, intercultural marriage seems to be a bigger issue than interreligious one. I see myself facing far bigger adjustment problems with a person from a different culture but same religion than different religion but same culture.Cultural differences may at times be too big to handle no matter how well you love or understand each other.

That is a very good point, Beyond_the_Veil. Religion is not something that plays a pivotal role in everyday living whereas culture does. The basic teachings of every religion are similar in nature but cultural beliefs can be vastly different. A couple that belongs to different religions but same culture has fewer differences than a couple that belongs to different cultures but same religion. Given a choice between these two options I would choose to have an intercultural marriage.

There's no right or wrong.

Just whatever rocks your boat.

Just return the favour, is all I ask.

Well that varies from person to person, right? Religion is part of our culture, after all. Since I am not religious, it makes no difference to my life what religion my partner follows - given she is not an extremist/fundamentalist. But to marry someone with a completely different set of beliefs, personalities, lifestyle et al could be difficult to adjust with.

I think inter-racial marriages are okay..but personally, I don't think Inter-religious marriages are :) Just my personal opinion of course, but inter-religious marriages can cause too many problems for the people involved.

I think inter-racial marriage might not really be an issue if both the bride and groom have been living in the same place. They'll be accustomed to each other's ways and they'd not find it weird. I've a cousin who lives away and is married with one of the natives. She is very comfortable how her life is. She has not been forced to give up her religion and her culture. As long as both the parties respect each other's culture and views, there's nothing wrong with Inter-racial marriages.
