Re: Consequences of marrying a non-muslim girl
My mom isn’t muslim. And in our family that haven’t never caused any problems. My dad asked when they got married that if my mom wants to convert but she didnt want so dad let it be cause like he says its pointless to convert if u dont ur-self believe in Islam and think that its right way to live. Changing religion in paper is easy but in mind is not that easy and u cant force anyone to change her/his beliefs.
My mom respects my dads and ours religion. And she knows for example that to my dad is really important that she doesn’t eat pork so she doesn’t eat. And also she respects that fact that my dad doesn’t like her to wear really revealing clothing and she doesnt wear. And since we have born it has been clear that our, children religion is Islam. But we had kind a religion free childhood. Of course dad has taught basic things about Islam but otherwise it hasn’t been huge part of our childhood mainly cause my dad isnt really religious. For me religion has become bigger part of my life after I turn 15 and I have myself been more interested about Islam and finding and asking more about it. Im glad that we had kind a religious free childhood, so now I think religion is maybe more important to me. I know im far from perfect muslim and never will be really religious but im learning new things about Islam all the time, its still part of my life and trying my best to live like proud muslim
I think if u are going to marry non-muslim girl, respect towards each other is most important thing. If she doesnt understand and respect ur religion and values its not gonna work out. And probably if u are really religious, marriage with non-muslim doesn’t work out.
Fantastic answer Jazz89. I have the upmost respect for someone that put forward their story. Its seems your parents esp your dad has fulfilled his duty to at least educate his children about Islam.. some parents do not even bother with that..
The reason I asked the question was I recently went to a wedding where the gora gentlemen decided to convert for her and not for islam… it kind of got me thinking.. if it were the other way around and what the consquences were.
