came to you and said that they wanted to:
a) marry a person of other religion
b) convert themselves
How would you deal with it?
Re: If your child..
I will say:
not possible
he will insist, i will tell him well you can leave - don't come back.
Re: If your child..
Why is not possible?
Re: If your child..
Why is not possible?
you didn't define the question so i took it literally but he/she wanna marry some one who follows a book. .then yeh i am cool with it.
But changing religion, it's simple nope. not possible.
Re: If your child..
i'd try my utmost hardest to give my kid a good understanding and knowledge of what our religion requires and the importance it holds. the rest is up to them, if they wanna convert...obviously i'd be disappointed and try to sway their decision in any way i could...but if push comes to shove, i dont wanna lose them either because that'd be worse so i think i'd have to put on a brave face and accept that decision, same goes for marrying someone of another religion...i would def. not be welcoming but maybe accept it over time.

Hypothetically if it happens how would you deal with it?

Daym I got sweeftie to write a long serious response :D
Re: If your child..
- If she was of the book then that is fine otherwise I wouldn't accept it and would break contact. If it was the girl wanting to marry a non Muslim then I would totally break contact.
2.I'd would obviously try to get to the bottom of them giving up the truth and going for something corrupt. If that failed I would probably break contract with them and I hope I keep to it.
Re: If your child..
...then i fail i my duties as a parent. black can never be white.
i will do the reverse psychology and try to find out where i neglected my duties that leaded to this. there should be something wrong either with kid that is making him/her rebelling or may be parents who never guided their kids in a right direction.
Re: If your child..
I do not know what I will do. But there is no way I am breaking contact.
This is when I will break contact or I might consider breaking contact: turns out to be a habitual liar, cheater, abuser, killer, criminal and the like.

You will just accept it?
Personally, I would find it too hard to carry on as normal.

I don't know. I will try to do what I can. Yes it will be very hard and disappointing. But it's fully unfair for me to have friends of all religions, but disown MY own kids because they wanted to not follow religion. My responsibility to teach them is my own. But after that they have their own choice. I will not disown.
Re: If your child..
o’ll be all ice cold and like okay, darling daughter, okay. pero yo no te dan phooti kauri you ungrateful brat, give me back your college money 
Re: If your child..
Yeap, I wouldn't let my kids join some cult only to burn in hell with the kafir later. I don't care if they believe in another ideology that makes sense to them. It's for their own good to keep on believing in my religion even if it doesn't make sense, all that matters is that God won't brutally kill them forever in the afterlife.
Re: If your child..
Cut the close ties and treat them as I treat other non muslims - with respect but within certain boundaries ...
Re: If your child..
For those who won’t tolerate their childrens’ views, how do you plan on taming them? verbal/physical/mental abuse?

Totally agree. If my child comes up to me and tells me that, I have failed him/her completely and would have no one to blame but myself. Disowning is easy to say but completely hypocritical since it is your own fault you did not instill the proper values in your child.
Re: If your child..
What if they 'just' say they don't believe in God?
Re: If your child..
Still your fault. A kid raised in the proper Islamic manner would never say that.

Agreed ! Birds of the same feather flock together
