initially my parents weren’t thrilled by the idea but after meeting him, they were happy. we had a ‘nikah’ and he did convert for the sake of nikah just so that my parents and family will be able to accept our marriage. Neither of us are religious or care about it, so that never came between us. he is supposedly catholic but doesn’t care much about it. I know a few other girls from muslim background who have married hindus, and christians, so far all of them have been quite happy. It all depends on how you feel about the religious differences and how much you actually follow religion. I know a guy whos supposedly religious, sits in eitkaaf during ramadan, did hajj, always posting hadith and religious quotes on facebook, but he’s married to a christian girl who drinks, wears ‘non-islamically approved’ clothes such as short dresses, swimsuits, skirts and all that. they seem to be happily married. so i guess even though he’s religious, it doesn’t bother him that his wife is completely different. so it’s different for everyone.
as far as families, they usually come around even if they initially disapprove. I don’t care much for my distant relatives and I m sure they dont approve of my marriage, but i could care less. we didn’t invite too many distant people to our wedding even, just some close relatives.

The bold part sounds awfully weird. Hajji sahab ki begum in skimpy bikinis ?
