Re: How to convince my parents

**i guess you may tell your parents. they might accept because i do NOT think that it’s christian religious requirement to marry a christian girl…if they do NOT accept, talk to your GF. this is a common problem these days and to quiet the parents, girl/boy convert for the sake of marriage. she might convert if her family does NOT object.

to be honest, knowing your parents, you must have thought about this b4 you got involved with this girl and committed yourself. believe it or NOT, u r in between a rock and a hard place.**

Your right I dont think there are any religious requirements but its just that my mom prefers someone from the same country and same religion. Honestly I don’t see why she needs to convert to a religion just for the sake of marriage. Even Im not that religious.

@Murgi

Awww! You sound like a friend of mine. He’s happily married now mashallah, though he did struggle a bit as well. Hope it turns out well for you. Anyways…back to the topic.

Both of you need to make a list of things about the other one that you would not be able to find in anyone else that your parents would suggest, since not only there is the religious thing, but also the nationality thing. Things like qualifications, family, friends, as well as compatibility and anything else you think will help your case. Then you need to sincerely sit with your parents and tell them the story. That you’ve had a crush on this girl for so many years and now it feels like you have accomplished something, and that your feelings towards her aren’t fleeting. Try not arguing with the parents since they don’t like it =/ But just…have a talk and keep having a talk.

Hmm yeah I guess your right. Also for some reason I want to move back to Pakistan after a few years even though I have never lived there. I guess thats another issue.

Ghar chor kar bhaag jao

Lol maybe I should if all things fail.

Agree.. Also, I thought it’s not that uncommon for Hindus to ‘marry out’ these days as well.. One of my best friends is a Hindu guy and a couple of his cousins are married to Christian girls (one of the couples had a Christian wedding and a Hindu ceremony).. Not sure if they are stricter with their daughters.. Guess it depends a lot on the family..

Well her parents are from somewhere in Punjab, so I just felt that maybe they might have some problems with me.

@zobia

before talking to your parents, did you even ask the girl what her plans are? indian girls are not like Pakistani girls. they are career oriented.

I don’t think her career will stop her from marrying me. Its not like Im going to stop her from working after marriage.
